Stone box in the Tempelberg Forest
The Neolithic stone box discovered in the Tempelberger Forest in 1871 is located in a wetland, on an elevation on the southern edge of the Lebuser Platte, north of Fürstenwalde in the Oder-Spree district in Brandenburg .
The slightly trapezoidal, west-east-oriented and completely sunk stone box is about five meters long, 1.5 m wide and 1.3 m high. The side walls, which carried several capstones, consist of red Trebus sandstone and a limestone slab . The stone floor was covered with clay screed. The access to the chamber was on the eastern narrow side. He assigns the system to the grave boxes , which, unlike the real stone boxes , have entrances and were primarily built in Jutland by the successor cultures of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) .
The bones of at least six individuals, a pig's tooth and a grinding plate were found at the location of this unusually large box of the spherical amphora culture (KAK, cal. 3100–2700 BC). A follow-up examination carried out in 1986 revealed partially decorated ceramic fragments of the spherical amphora culture , blades and flint chips .
