Stone box from Farven
The Farven stone box is one of the more delicate buildings from the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age in the north. It recalls the construction of megalithic the Funnel Beaker Culture (TBK), but in these cases a person was only one buried.
On the western outskirts of Farven in the Rotenburg (Wümme) district in Lower Saxony there were several barrows . A stone box with eleven, partly very small side stones and two relatively massive cap stones were recovered from a hill . Only the two capstones are megalithic . The inside about 2.0 m long and up to 0.95 m wide with its up to 70 cm high supporting stones was almost completely sunk into the ground. The floor was covered with a pavement of pebbles on which a clay pot was found. The box was covered with a mound of earth.
The reconstructed stone box is now on a meadow behind the Bachmann Museum in Bremervörde . The museum shows an exhibition on prehistory and early history.
