List of earthworks of the Funnel Beaker Culture
From the beginning of the megalithic phase of the Funnel Beaker Culture (TBK), around 4000 BC. Chr. To 3500 BC BC, earthworks were created. They are characterized by a system of palisades and trenches. Over 40 of these earthworks have been recognized and some of them have been examined. The best known are the earthworks of Büdelsdorf and Sarup . The Salzmünde earthworks were the first to be identified in Germany.
