Collective megalithic burials of the Late Neolithic are found in the western parts of Europe between Southern Scandinavia and the Iberian Peninsula, however the
discovery of undisturbed sites is extremely rare. The dolmen of Oberbipp is one of the few collective megalithic burial sites including human remains in Switzerland. The site therefore provides a unique opportunity for multidisciplinary research. Morphological analysis indicates, that approximately 40 individuals are buried in the grave chamber. It was not possible archaeologically to determine different occupation periods within the inhumations. Since dolmen graves were often reused over hundreds of years, this question could only be addressed with radiocarbon dating.
