Großsteingrab Wangels LA 69, Neolithic burial structure in Wangels, Germany

The megalithic tomb extends over 43 meters in length and 16 meters in width, featuring a Holstein chamber at its eastern end point.

The burial site, constructed during the Middle Neolithic period between 4100 and 2800 BCE, belonged to the Funnel Beaker culture of Northern Europe.

Archaeological excavations revealed 1635 flint artifacts, 69 amber objects, and remnants of 57 ceramic vessels, indicating extensive burial practices spanning 1500 years.

The tomb's reconstruction at the Christian-Albrechts-University in Kiel enables visitors to examine the architectural features of prehistoric burial structures.

Scientific analysis of ceramic vessels through lipid examination demonstrated the ritualistic use of cattle in burial ceremonies at this location.
