Roots of the Vestermarie Plantation
The Rosen of the Vestermarie Plantation are cairn graves east of Vestermarie on the Danish island Bornholm . They were mostly found in the late Bronze and Early Iron Ages of 1100 BC. Built up to the year 0 BC to cover the remains of cremations .
Some loops are placed in a circle of large stones and marked with a building stone ( menhir ). Roots are generally round or slightly oval, but there are also five boat-shaped loops in Vestermarie Plantage. These appear in the Late Bronze Age around 700 to 500 BC. To have arisen.
Roars are a grave form that is particularly widespread on rocky ground and in poor regions of Scandinavia, and in Denmark it occurs almost exclusively on Bornholm. The number of roes on Bornholm was once around 3000, most of which have not survived. The preserved Rosenfelder escaped destruction because they are mainly on poor soil. The ship settlements , ship-shaped roasts and the ship pictures as rock carvings are an expression of the importance of the ship for the Bronze Age communities of the island. Seafaring was a prerequisite for raw materials such as bronze, iron and gold to reach the island. Ships are particularly common on the islands of the Baltic Sea.
