Museum in Noord-Brabant
In 1997 a large cult place dating from 4000BC was found in Tiel.
Three burial mounds were found and remains of houses.
The largest burial mound had a diameter of 20 meters. It had the function of a suncalendar as it was edged with a sort of a trench, that was interrupted in several places which were focused on the solstice.
It must have had the same function as Stonehenge, but it was build with wood.
More than 1 million artifacts were found in the area next to the rivers the Waal and The Linge, now the industrial park named Medel.
Some artifacts can be seen in the local Streekmuseum on the upper floor. Others are in the Museum of archeology in Leiden.
Bead from near Iraq
In the oldest part of the burial field has been found a glass bead. This is the oldest glass bead ever found in the Netherlands.
What makes the bead extra special is that it comes from far away. Namely all the way from Mesopotamia (now including Iraq). It shows that the inhabitants of this area 4000 years ago already traded with people almost 5000 kilometers away.
The municipality will make a lasting memory of this archeological area.
