Description :   EU128. Deposit of materials located on the wooden lid of the funerary chamber located in the lower vessel of tomb T2 at its SW edge. It has an inclination of 30º with SW-NE orientation, product of the collapse of the lid. The matrix of the envelope is clayey, brown with reddish tones and has a high sand content. This unit contains three pectorals, four bracelets and some gold sheets, all gold and miniature.

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.

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.

In its upper part it is introduced in the corner S of the pit. It is a package of materials product of the sliding of part of the deposits of the tomb T6 towards the interior of the grave of the tomb T2.

Description :   EU161. Deposit of artefacts. The matrix is a dark grey soil, organic and with roots, fine granulometry and high compaction. It was located in the S corner of the lower vessel of tomb T2. It occupies a strip of about 2.5 x 0.6 meters (E-W / N-S) and has an average power of 55 cm. It contains a group of bone flutes, two stone bars, carved sperm whales´ teeth, artifacts made with perforated shark teeth, gold tubular beads, spherical gold beads and green stone beads, as well as axes and adzees. These materials appear markedly vertical. We consider it to be an offering placed next to the burial, i...

Description :   EU182. Package of human bones located above burial UE134, in tomb T2, in quadrant NE above thorax area of individuals I6, I5, I4 and I2. They appeared following the longitudinal axis of the bodies (SE-NW) intercalated between them. The feature has dimensions of 1 x 0.5 meters and an average power between 10 and 20 cm. Its surface is horizontal. Twenty long bones (femurs and tibias) and some fragments of jaws and teeth were collected. There was little sediment between them, and some lithics, fibre remains and iron oxides were also documented. It is one of the burial offerings.

Description :   UE183. Package of human bones and fauna (mammals), located above the UE134 burial, in tomb T2, in quadrant SW on the lower limbs of individuals I14, I5, I18 and I19. Their orientation is not as clear as that of the bones of the EU182 unit, but the trend, as in that case, is the longitudinal orientation parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bodies of the individuals on which they were placed, which is SE-NW. The feature has dimensions of 90 x 30 cm (N-S / E-W) and its average power is between 10 and 15 cm. Its surface is horizontal. In addition to the bones, it contains some ceramic and lith...

Description :   UE218. Circular patch of organic grayish earth with remains of ashes. Medium compaction and fine grain, with remnants of charcoal. On this level, an incense burner was documented lying face down with fragments of charcoal beneath it. It has a diameter of 22 cm and a maximum thickness of 7 cm. Located in the S quadrant, it does not form part of the perimeter post holes of T2, but looks like a votive deposit related to the construction of the tomb, prior to burials.
