Description
Position of skeletons in a Swedish tomb of the Stone Age. In Neolithic and Bronze Age Europe, stone-built examples of these burials are known by the generic term of megalithic tombs. Chamber tombs are often distinguished by the layout of their chambers and entrances or the shape and material of the structure that covered them, either an earth barrow or stone cairn. A wide variety of local types has been identified, and some designs appear to have influenced others. Image taken from Primitive Man by Louis Figuier, 1870 (cropped and cleaned).
