Seven graves were discovered in this burial site in Switzerland. Five cremations and two for inhumation (body) burials. The stone walls separating the individual tombs are typical of the middle to late Bronze Age (ca. 1500-1200 BC). Also, in the older Iron Age (Hallstatt period) between 700 and 500 BC, the dead were buried there. Clay vessels, bronze jewellery, Gagat arm rings and spearheads are typical of this era.
