A term for a classic form of graveyard found in France, the Low Countries, and West German in the 5th-7th centuries. It is normally found by a river on a south-facing slope, usually some distance from a settlement. Bodies were buried in individual trenches in neat rows (no sarcophagi or coffins). The men were traditionally buried with one or more weapons and the women with their brooches, hairpins, and other furnishings.
