Storegården
Storegården (also Storegård) is a 1,929-studied passage grave with a section division at Barsebäck in the municipality Kävlinge in Scania in Sweden . The hill is 25 m in diameter. The chamber length is over six meters, the width is about two meters. The corridor is over five meters long. This makes it one of the largest megalithic complexes in southern Sweden, along with Gillhög, dating from between 3500 and 2800 BC. BC originated. The passage grave is a form of Neolithic megalithic systems, which consists of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage. This form is primarily found in Denmark, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as occasionally in France and the Netherlands.
For archaeological research Storegård is important due to the large amount of pottery found that from the middle neolithic the Funnel Beaker culture originates (TBK). She was u. a. also found in the Skåne plants Gillhög , Örenäsgånggriften and Vester Hoby. The rich display of the most recent phase of TBK ceramics (Style IV - Style 4) and the discovery of over 300 amber pearls should be emphasized .
