Steinkiste von Anderlingen, Bronze Age burial cist in Anderlingen, Germany.

The stone cist measures 2 meters in length, 0.7 meters in width, and 1 meter in height, constructed from split granite blocks.

Discovered in 1907 during material extraction from a burial mound, the stone cist dates back to 1700-1400 BCE and contains Bronze Age artifacts.

The southern stone of the cist features three carved human figures that show similarities to rock carvings found in Southern Scandinavia.

The archaeological site now stands next to the Lower Saxony State Museum in Hanover, where it was relocated after its discovery.

Within the cist, archaeologists found unburned bone remains in the northern section and bronze inventory in the southern part.
