Barrow Cemetery in Pomorskie, spread ove an area of approximately 6 square kilometers.
There are several clusters of mounds of various types and different cultural and chronological affiliations.
There are at least 2,763 burial mounds. People were buried here for over 2,000 years.
On site is educational path with three barrowss marked with boards. One of them (a stone and earth structure with an internal stone circle) is attributed to the Lusatian culture and the Bronze Age. It is dated from 1100-900 BC. Human ashes were placed there in clay urns, the so-called ashtrays. Sometimes weapons or ornaments made of bronze were put in the grave. The second one is a box grave of the Pomeranian culture (8th-3rd century BC), made of flat stones, covered with a stone slab. In such graves, archaeologists find urns with ashed remains of the deceased, as well as ornaments, pottery and robes burnt with the deceased. The third mound, exposed next to the educational trail, comes from the early Middle Ages (10th-11th centuries).
