HET HUNEBED D9 TE NOORDLO (DR.)
Samenvatting
The excavation and restoration of hunebed D9, near Annen, look place in 1952 (de Groot, 1988). Hunebed D9 had not been fully destroyed. In 1952 the western part, consisting of 1 end stone, 2 pairs of side stones and 2 capstones, was still present. After the excavation of the eastern part of the hunebed, it turned out to be of the common passage-grave type, with the entrance at the south side. D9 originally consisted of 4 pairs of side stones, 2 end stones, 1 pair of portal s tones and most probably 4 capstones. No remains of the former covering mound were found. The chamber filling contained sherds of c. 101 pots, axes, arrowheads and some other flint artifacts, 1 axe of siltstone-like material, 1 amber bead and 4 jet beads. Remains of bone or cremated bone were not found. The use of the tomb after the TRB period is represented by at least 4 Single Grave pots, 2 Bell Beaker pots and 2 pots of the Early Bronze Age. The pottery shows that D9 was in use for about 200 years of the TRB period.
