Vasagårdsanlage Rispebjerg

Vasagårdsanlagen ( Danish Vasagårds-anlæg ) emerged at the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC. On the Danish islands and in Skåne . They are named after the Vasagård complex on Bornholm .

Systems of this type exist on Bornholm in Rispebjerg and Ndr. Grødbygård (discovered in 1988), in Skåne near Hunneberget (where evidence of a “sacrificial site” was possible for the first time) and on Zealand , where the funnel cup culture (TBK) z. B. in Helgeshøj and Sigersted survived longer.

The TBK generally ends in 2800 BC. The earthworks go out of use and the construction of dolmens is stopped. This marks the beginning of a new culture and its religious ceremonies. The use of stone graves continues on Bornholm, while new forms of burial are emerging in the rest of Denmark and other parts of the TBK area. The production of the specific, finely decorated grave ceramics found at the large stone graves ends.

Instead of round earthworks, piles become large ones; Squares and circles (Rispebjerg), enclosed by palisades, resemble English woodhenges . With the establishment of the battle ax culture , these Woodhenges or Timber Circles disappeared from around 2700 BC. Chr. Completely. In several locations, however, palisade-tended areas have been found without the long stakes that have the character of fortifications. They were found near Malmö in Skåne at the locations Bunkeflostrand, Skjutbanorna or Annetorpleden and Dösjebro. A similar facility is located in Kignæsbakke on Frederikssund. As happened with the Sarup plants, new "Vasagårds-anlæg" will also be discovered in southern Scandinavia in the future.

Individual evidence

↑ The circles on Rispebjerg were used for ritual acts, the purpose of which is unknown. The posts supported a mud-covered platform on which fires burned. Two rows of posts led to two of the henges. Parts of the system on Rispebjerg were reconstructed on site
↑ In the Dithmarschen Stone Age Park there is a replica of a Stone Age sacrificial site from around 3,200 BC. On the basis of the unique archaeological findings of Hunneberget in southern Sweden
