Introduction

· The tables were compiled and constitute part of the ca. 5000 Funnel Beaker culture tombs and German gallery-graves analyzed for the 1995 Ph. D. dissertation at the Anthropology Department, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas.

· The number of Polish tombs must be much higher. I have had no access to the national survey results of the 1990’s.

· The tables is being updated with floor plans and photographs.

· No guarantee for accuracy is made.

· If you find any discrepancies, would like to add new information, have other comments, or would like to quote the contents, please contact Max Baldia.

Instructions

· To search for information in the tables press the CTRL and the F key simultaneously and type in the desired key word.

· Underlined text in the table is a link to an illustration.

Proximal or wide end of one of the long-mounds with Polish archaeologists on top of the mound for scale. The mounds cover one or more graves near the proximal end. The graves are surrounded by a relatively rectangular sub-megalithic stone frame and contain a single, extended skeletons placed on its back. The graves should not be confused with chambers.
