However, the numerous shafts and chambers of the tomb complexes were extensively used for later burials.

The longer spicule was 1719+1844 long, its shaft 546+570 long, forming 31+32% of the spicule length.
These so-called bottom graves are known exclusively from large barrows and were associated with richer funerary gifts than shaft graves.
A further simplification was the elimination of the impeller shaft from the simulation.
The trace fossil is surrounded by a marginal tube and an open vertical shaft connects it to the sediment surface.
Many contributors link the use of shaft tombs to lineages or similar social groups.
