Digital Object 2175
Description:
EU136. Ceramic and stone artifacts repository, located above the bodies of the main burial of tomb T2, unit UE134. The pottery is fragmented, but retains its original geometry. This unit covers the entire burial and its surface is horizontal. The matrix surrounding the artifacts is a reddish-brown clay with fine-grained mineral inclusions. It is possible that, in addition to having a religious purpose (offering to the dead), all these materials also serve to protect the physical integrity of the bodies.
