Fosa común de Kilianstädten

The excavation contains skeletal remains of 26 individuals, including adults and children, within a burial space measuring 25 feet long and 3.3 feet wide.

Dating back 7,000 years to the Early Neolithic period, this burial site reveals evidence of systematic violence against a group from the Linearbandkeramik culture.

The absence of burial goods or ceremonial objects in the grave indicates a departure from traditional Neolithic burial practices of that period.

Located 12 miles northeast of Frankfurt, the site was discovered during road construction and now serves as a research center for archaeological studies.

Analysis of the skeletal remains shows specific patterns of trauma, with a notable gap in age distribution as no victims between 9 and 15 years were found.
