Digital Object 2180
Description:
EU159. Ceramic deposit that extends over the burial in its sector W-N and in the corner E. It has dimensions of 2.66 x 1.84m (SW-NE and SE-NW) and an average power of 25 cm. The matrix is greyish clay, darker the deeper we go. It presents abundant organic matter and is of fine granulometry. The unit is composed of plates, bowls, globular vessels, jars and several incense burners are documented. They appear fragmented, but keeping their original geometry. The great majority were placed face up and in some cases one on top of the other (superposition of vessels). Towards N-E, the materials are more removed at their upper level, possibly as a consequence of the treading during the 2010 excavation (that year we left this deposit partially exposed). The materials show a marked dip (NW-SE) at the outer boundary and greater horizontality as we approach the center of the tomb. The dip may be a consequence of the collapse of some type of structure.
