Håga kurgan, Bronze Age burial mound in Uppsala, Sweden
The mound reaches 7 meters in height and extends 45 meters in diameter, containing a wooden chamber with an oak coffin and cremated remains.
Archaeological excavations between 1902 and 1903 uncovered bronze artifacts including a sword, razor, brooches, and gilded buttons dating from 1100 BCE.
The burial structure contains evidence of ceremonial practices, including human remains with removed marrow, suggesting complex funeral traditions of Nordic Bronze Age societies.
The tumulus stands on the western outskirts of Uppsala, near the University, Botanical Garden, Uppsala Castle, and Uppsala Cathedral for combined historical visits.
The wooden chamber inside the mound preserved bronze objects connected to workshops in Zealand, indicating trade networks between ancient Scandinavian communities.
