The results showed that it was a large stone complex containing dozens of tombs dating back 5,500 years. Photo: @J Bulas. Each of these graves is lined with wooden stakes, as opposed to the stone-lined form found in most large stone graves found in Poland. Photo: @J Bulas.
Archaeologist Marcin M. Przybyła, a member of the discovery team, said this could be one of the largest large stone cemeteries in Poland. He described the site as having longer walls reinforced with wooden fences, while the shorter eastern walls contained the entrance to a kind of mausoleum chapel. Photo: @J Bulas. The team believes that these may be prehistoric burial sites of the Neolithic Funnel Beaker people in the area. Unfortunately, most of the remains of the deceased and their burial objects have been removed from these graves. Photo: @J Bulas. Additionally, a square defensive structure was found around the stone tomb, suggesting that the site may have been used as a temporary military camp in the 9th-10th centuries BC. Photo: @J Bulas.
Archaeologist Marcin M. Przybyła said it was a “unique discovery” that allowed them to study the fortification techniques used in the 9th and 10th centuries BC, which were the most turbulent periods in Polish history.
