In the start of 2013 archaeologists reported the uncovering of a dozen unknown cemeteries from the Neolithic period, approx. 4,500 years ago. All of them were inwards Muszkowicki Forest (near Ząbkowice Śląskie, Forestry District Henryków). Only 7 had been known earlier 2013. This twelvemonth during the query inwards 1 of them inwards Muszkowice, archaeologists made an unexpected uncovering - 2 pocket-sized circular burial mounds adjoined a monumental tomb.


"Archaeological query carried out inwards diverse places inwards Poland confirms the purpose of cemeteries for many centuries, from prehistory to the early on Middle Ages. But at that topographic point are few such evident in addition to well-preserved examples, specially inwards the cast of structures visible inwards a higher house the surface", says caput of excavations MD Agnieszka Przybył from the Institute of Archaeology, University of Wrocław.

During the excavations that accept been going on since May, archaeologists partially dug upwards both the Neolithic construction in addition to the to a greater extent than recent burial mounds. They determined that the Neolithic tomb was nigh 45 m long in addition to resembled an elongated trapeze. It was surrounded past times a circle of huge boulders, in addition to the whole construction was covered amongst soil. In the embankment, archaeologists works life fragments of several broken vessels attributed to the representatives of the funnelbeaker civilization - megalith builders, whose hit included present-day Poland.

"Unfortunately, nosotros were non able to locate the burial. The tomb was partially destroyed past times a wide, modern ditch inwards the house where nosotros expected to notice the remains of the deceased. The live on is ongoing in addition to it nosotros tin non dominion out that the tomb even in addition to therefore hides the remains associated amongst the burial ritual", the researcher hopes.

After a few one 1000 years, or in addition to therefore the 9th-10th century, to a greater extent than tombs were built inwards the "tail" of the Neolithic tomb. "These were pocket-sized structures inwards the cast of circular embankments. In the embankments nosotros works life fragments of destroyed ceramic urns along amongst burned human bones", says MD Przybył. Items discovered inwards the course of study of research, including fragments of vessels in addition to Fe spurs, helped produce upwards one's hear the historic menses of mounds.


"Interestingly, this is non an isolated case. Less than 2 kilometres westward of the site, inwards the same forest, nosotros works life a like organisation of sepulchral (burial - PAP) structures - an oblong Neolithic tomb accompanied past times 2 to a greater extent than recent burial mounds", the researcher adds.
