Chamblandes type stone boxes

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Excavation of stone boxes of the Chamblandes type

The stone boxes of the Chamblandes type were named after a small town near Pully near Lausanne on Lake Geneva in French-speaking Switzerland . In western Switzerland, stone boxes come from around 4300 BC. Chr. On. In Central Switzerland, e.g. B. in Däniken ( Canton Solothurn ) and Lenzburg ( Canton Aargau ) they are from about 4000 BC. Represent; for the next 700 years or so in eastern France ( necropolis of Genevray ).

The most important of the 24 sites listed by Stöckli and Wyss (usually necropolises ) are the necropolis of Sion ( Chemin des Collines , where menhirs with rock carvings were also found), Lausanne-Vidy (man and woman and three children) and the stone boxes of Corseaux-sur-Vevey , one of them with the unattached bones of three women and three men. The necropolises consist of around 30 to 60 individual boxes. It starts with individual burials, but then quickly moves on to collective burials and the custom of grave goods . The neolithic Cortaillod culture is the bearer of the new custom .

The Catalan stone boxes of the "Cultura de los sepulcros de fosa" ("Sepulcros de fosa" German  "Culture of the pit graves" ) from the 5th and early 4th millennium BC. Are close relatives of the Chamblandeskisten.
