Heumen Burial Mounds
Heumen Burial Mounds submitted by Maatje : Round Barrow Heumen (Vote or comment on this photo)
The Heumen Burial Mounds are situated in the nature reserve Overasseltse en Hatertse Vennen in Heumen (Gelderland/The Netherlands). The three round barrows were analyzed between 1953 and 1961. They contained inhumation burials that date from 2100 BC, which suggests that they belonged to the late Neolithic Bell-Beaker Culture. The mounds 1 and 3 contained also Bronze Age urns that were buried later.
