Bornhöved Burial Mound

Bornhöved, Germany

In 2018, as part of the Collaborative Research Center "Scales of Transformations" (CRC1266) at Kiel University and led by Jutta Kneisel and Vera Hubensack, an excavation was carried out on the burial mound LA 117 in Bornhöved. This mound was notable not only for its unusual construction but also for the significant role fire played in the burial process. Although the excavation yielded only a few artifacts, an interdisciplinary research team was able to analyze the construction phases of the burial mound and the different periods of use of the site.
