Until
1982 the hunebed-story still had one big surprise to be revealed. During
the development of an industrial ground east of Delfzijl in the province
of Groningen, a small hunebed was discovered 2 metre under the clay. Moreover,
two years later a stone coffin was excavated. The hunebed was of a special
type, an 'enlarged dolmen' as archaeologists call it. This type had never
been found in Holland before. This hunebed has 3 capstones resting on
6 sidestones, but only one endstone. The entrance is on the place where
other hunebeds have the second endstone.
The hunebed was reconstructed
and is being exhibited in the nautical museum AquariOm in the most northern
harbourtown in Holland: Delfzijl. |
