摘要
The Gallery graves of the Late Neolithic in western Sweden are enigmatic landmarks of a mythological megalithic landscape. In this paper I wish to present some results from my research on gallery graves of western Sweden in the province of Vastergotland, especially regarding the area of Falbygden. The gallery graves of western Sweden represent the second largest conglomeration of gallery graves in the country. The area of Falbygden comprises of a very characteristic landscape and the area hosts a large amount of both passage graves and gallery graves. In my discussion I will focus on a variety of morphological variables of the gallery graves, discussing differences over time and different regions. It is my intopretation that the gallery graves should be regarded mainly as spatial features, used as performative spaces in the landscape and as vehicles for the reconstruction of remembrance in the Late Neolithic in western Sweden.
