Two other titles of the series Bodenaltertümer Westfalens
Dorothee Menke Die Fundplätze von Beelen und Herzebrock-Clarholz. Schlaglichter zum frühgeschichtlichen Bestattungswesen.The pyre site in Herzebrock-Clarholz – dating to the Migration Period – is a real archaeological rarity, even beyond the region. In addition, 22 graves from the 4th and 5th century were examined here. Apparently, the burial ceremony itself was of central importance for the bereaved, because a considerable part of the grave goods and bones remained at the place of cremation and was not deposited in the graves.
Bernhard Sicherl Das merowingerzeitliche Gräberfeld von Dortmund-Asseln . Early medieval cemeteries are rare in Westphalia, even more so in the Ruhr area. Therefore, it was particularly gratifying that in Dortmund-Asseln, during a systematic excavation, fourteen female and ten male individuals could be examined in predominantly undisturbed and, by Westphalian standards, well preserved and excellently equipped inhumation graves.
