A Danish group was excavating the capital city of the Bronze Age when they opened some tumuli and discovered items dating to around 4100 - 3700 BP of the same culture. Many others began to excavate more of the graves, providing us with a view of the construction and content on these graves. Each of the tumuli is composed of a central stone chamber that is enclosed by a low ring-wall and covered by earth and gravel.
