Digital Object 2174
Description:
EU135 Materials depot located in the NE corner of tomb T2, above the bottom of the grave. The matrix contains clays and fine sands and is brown in colour. Some materials point in the direction of the centre of the pit. We believe that the reason for this dip is that, in origin, these were stacked or placed inside a container or container (basket or similar), made with organic materials. The deposit is composed of a gold paten, placed at the bottom (as the base of the set of artifacts), earrings made with carved sperm whale teeth and a group of copper plates. It is an offering.
