Trullhalsar is a large cemetery located on the Swedish island of Gotland in the parish of Anga. It is famous for its characteristic grave structures in the form of mounds of heaped stones with surrounding curbs. In addition to these, there are other stone settings in the cemetery area, including circles. Trullhalsar was partially excavated in 1888 and in 1915-1916. Based on the analysis of grave finds, the time of use of the cemetery was dated to the Vendel Period (ca. 550-800 AD). The artifacts from Trullhalsar indicate the high status of the people buried there, especially women. The cemetery was probably located near a harbor, and trade and crafts activities may have been the main source of income for the local community. A more detailed analysis of the finds from Trullhalsar allows for a better understanding of the character of the cemetery in the context of Gotland and the Baltic Sea basin.
