D28

D28 is a dolmen in Germany, although the monument known as hunebed D28 lies in the Netherlands. It stands with hunebed D29 a short distance east of the village of Borger, toward Buinen, south of the N374 in the Dutch province of Drenthe. The type dates from 3500 BCE to 2800 BCE by typological estimate.

Hunebed D28 has three capstones, unlike the nearby D29, which has only two. It also has eight supporting stones and two closing stones. The mound that once covered the monument was never higher than the underside of the capstones and has since been dug away. Archaeological research has taken place at the site on several occasions.

H. Tiessing reported in 1905 that many antiquities had been damaged by the digging of the Buineres between 1880 and 1890. Van Giffen examined the dolmen in 1927 and described it as being in good condition. The Biologisch-Archaeologisch Instituut (BAI) at Groningen investigated it in 1985. Finds included pottery, copper-wire beads now held by the Drents Museum, and red flint axes from North Germany.

In July 1878, William Collings Lukis and sir Henry Dryden surveyed forty hunebedden on the Hondsrug for the Society of Antiquaries. Their unpublished report, measurements and watercolours were kept by the Society of Antiquaries, the Guernsey Museum & Art Gallery and the Drents Museum, while the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford holds copies. Their work was published in 2015 by Drentse archaeologist dr. Wijnand van der Sanden. Monuments of this kind in northern Germany and the Netherlands were built by the Funnel Beaker culture.
