Cup-marked stone in the Oher burial ground

Copied here in Komoot from hiking in Northern Germany:
An interesting little circular route that can be easily combined with a somewhat longer hike from Aumühle over the Billtal.

As bowl stones, cup stones or bowl stones, unmoved and otherwise unprocessed stones are called, which have cup-shaped depressions.
Cup stones are widespread. It can be round or oval indentations, usually several centimeters in diameter, worked in by humans; individual stones also show traces of abrasion. Experiments show that bulges carved into the rock with sharp pieces of rock can be rubbed out into smooth shells in a short time.I think it's very good that it is covered and thus protected - so that it can stand here and be admired for many more years.
It will outlast us all - hopefully. 😉Source and further information:evolution-mensch.de/Anthropologie/Schalenstein
