Kap25 Day 10: Close to closing of week 2. As said before, we are stunned by what came up! 😀

@archaeo-fk.bsky.social and the magnificiant team deserve a relaxing weekend. I myself will search the literature for burial monument architecture during 5th and 4th millennia in western Europe...

Also in 2025 are we continuing our research on #Kapellenberg and vicinity: Today we scanned a skull cap from a pit with several articulated and disarticulated human skelettons at @leizarchaeology.bsky.social CT. These people lived miserable lifes and died even more miserable deaths...more to come!
CT at LEIZA with box containing skull cap from Michelsberg site of Hattetsheim.
