Monuments are reminders. They keep reminding us of what was in the past and of how past people wished to be remembered by later generations. This paper is about a passage-grave in Lunden on the island of Orust off the West Coast of Sweden. It is a site of death and a site of memory. Death did not only occur in prehistory here, and local memory is not just connected to the imposing megalithic grave. A second monument only a few meters away is a memorial stone for the archaeologist Gabriel Wilhelm Ekman, who died while excavating the passage-grave on 20 September 1915. This paper interprets the Neolithic tomb by tracing the story of Ekman’s death and its aftermath.
