I have named it Kurgan, instead of mound or barrow as it is obviously in the same tradition as the other kurgans of the Bronze Age.--Wiglaf 10:09, 12 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Obviously? I would like a source for giving it the name kurgan, or even listing at as part of the same culture. Or is "obviously" just another word for user:Wiglaf's original research? /Pieter Kuiper 07:08, 2 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Kurgan is not a word associated with Scandinavian bronze age mounds, atleast not in scandinavia where the only word used for them is "hög" (mound). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.89.97.1 (talk) 13:37, 7 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Kurgan is a Turkic word associated with central Asian mounds. Just as mounds in the u.s. made by native americans are also not kurgans, it makes no sense to cal this one in sweden a kurgan. In english barrow seems reasonable. Whatever is used traditionally in archeological research would make the most sense. 69.0.52.111 (talk) 19:41, 25 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Clearly all other articles related to this topic are using the terms mound, barrow and tumuli, and there is no reason to associate these with Central Asia more than with the nearby ones in Europe. I propose reverting this to mound or barrow. 69.0.52.111 (talk) 19:49, 25 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have moved the page to Håga mound, I found that mound is an order of magnitude more common in the context of Uppland than barrow (~4 000 000 vs. ~ 400 000 hits in Google). MVH Macuser (talk) 14:55, 18 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
