Burial groups of the Bell Beaker Period and the Early Bronze Age

In 2017 and 2018, a large area in the west of Eching, district of Freising, was archaeologically investigated prior to construction. In addition to many traces of settlements dating back to the early Middle Ages, two groups of graves were uncovered ^{[1] [2]}.

The first group of graves comprised at least 9 burials and 4 circular ditches and can be assigned to the Bell Beaker Culture (ca. 2600 - 2200 BC) in the late Neolithic. One of the burials stood out due to its rich grave goods with perforated gold sheet, amber beads, gold beads, copper awl and ceramic grave goods. The double burial in the southernmost circle trench was also interesting, as it consisted of both a body burial and a cremation burial.
