13 Elche in 6 Depots im Moor

[Blattspitze]

That's what happened when the bones of several elks were excavated from Lundby bog in south Zealand in 1999, the archaeologists dated some of the animal remains back to sometime between 9,400 and 9,300 BC.

Recently, however, the archaeologists did a new carbon 14 dating on some of the bones which revealed that they dated back to between 9,873 and 9,676 BC.
These elk bones were clearly not buried in the bog over a short period, as originally thought, but were placed there over several centuries – and this surprised the archaeologists.

Spannend!
Kühlschrank (wie auch für Meiendorf vermutet)? Oder rituell?

Es wird aufgrund der Zusammensetzung der Knochen als rituell interpretiert.
