Barkaer

A site of the final Early Neolithic (phase C, TRB culture) in northeast Jutland, Denmark. There was a cobbled street, two timber buildings (80 m long and divided into 26 single rooms) which were at first thought to be houses but may have been burial structures. Offerings in the pits below the buildings included amber beads, copper objects, and pottery.

A site of the later Early Neolithic (TRB culture) in east Jutland. Two large rectangular structures of timber were excavated, each divided up into smaller units. These were originally interpreted as houses, but recently it has been suggested that they were in fact burial structures. Apparent offerings of amber beads and pottery were found in pits below floor level.
