The aim of this essay is to see if there are any relationship between the four Megalithic graves, and the newly excavated dwelling site in Resmo socken on Öland. The Megalithic graves on Öland consist of one dolmen and three passage graves. Is the excavated site a settlement? Since there are no signs of housing constructions, I will also explore other possible purposes of the site. What surprised the excavators was the concentration of pits that contained ceramics, flints and burned bones. To find out about Resmo´s relation to megaliths, settlements and the landscape, I will look at the Neolithic settlement sites of the Funnel Beaker Culture and where in the landscape we find these in relation to the Megalithic graves. I will also give an overview of the Megalithic graves in Skåne, and Falbygden in Västergötland.
