Very nice find! But please - if you haven't already done so - report the finds and location(s) to the district or city archaeology department in Göttingen immediately (depending on who is responsible). This seems to be a leveled burial mound (possibly even a burial mound field).

Hi, that happened with the first piece and has already been inspected, the other two pieces from Friday were reported directly by email from the field. Just waiting for an answer, I think that will happen on Monday. Greetings Bernd, Marcus already knows too

Hello Mrs Bartelt, my archaeologist Dr Flindt was very enthusiastic today when discussing the other fragments, there will be a publication and he also said there would be a field investigation with, I forgot the term, magnetically examined. I should keep looking, it was discussed with the farmer, he agreed. I thought I would inform you about the next steps. That is still missing from the program here, the direct messages, if you want them. Best wishes, Bernd Rösnick
