STONE AGE GRAVES
FIND IN EAST PRUSSIA The excavations that have been going on in different parts of East Prussia for a year or more have brought to light 23 graves dating from the Stone Age, some 5.000 years ago. The remains lie In richly ornamented stone coffins, and many stone axes have been found at depths indicating the probability that many other graves from the same period will still be found. At AVosnitzen. near Sensburg, a burial place dating from the days of the Roman Caesars has been discovered. The bodies were cremated and the ashes buried in covered urns. Near the small Kottek lake a pile-dwellers’ settlement has been uncovered, dating from the early Iron Age (800 to 500 8.C.).
