Death revisited : the excavation of three Bronze Age barrows and surrounding landscape at Apeldoorn Wieselseweg This book presents a group of small and inconspicuous barrows that were recently discovered in the forest of Apeldoorn the Netherlands. They are part of an extensive barrow landscape of which little was yet known. Fieldwork carried out in and around them yielded a wealth of new data. It was discovered that even the most inconspicuous and heavily damaged mound of this group still contained many special features.00This special place was anchored around a site that probably had a particular significance in the Late Neolithic and where special rituals were carried out during the Bronze Age resulting in the construction of an enigmatic row of pits  rituals the likes of which have not previously been attested around barrows in the Netherlands but which are known elsewhere in Europe. The dead were buried at locations that were probably only later covered by monuments. During the Bronze Age (between the 18th and 15th centuries BC) the mounds of this small barrow group were used as collective graves for what was probably perceived as one specific community of ancestors
