Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
These barrows continue to present many unsolved problems. Within the British Isles they are linked with certain chambered tomb groups by such features as their trapezoid plan, occasional curved façades and terminal burial areas; with all chambered tombs by the shared rite of collective and successive burial. Chronological separation cannot at present be made, but presumptive evidence (and direct stratigraphy at Waylands Smithy) would place them earlier than the British tombs of, for instance, the Severn-Cotswold group, to which they would have contributed the trapezoid mound element to be combined with the W French traditions implicit in the transepted burial chambers. The trapezoid house and mortuary enclosure have a long history on the N European plain, but in its funeral expression the tradition cannot be shown to antedate British examples such as Fussell's Lodge. Its presence as far west as the Saale brings it within reasonable geographical proximity to Britain, but the divergent burial rites in the two areas remain obstacles to direct relationships, even if details such as fore-buildings, burnt or unburnt, appear to offer more specific links.
