Description :   EU099. Deposit of disarticulated human bones, mostly long bones, located inside the tomb pit T1 at a depth of 4.02 m - 4.10 m.

Description :   Hammered gold circular pectoral with the embossed image of a supernatural hybrid being of bird and reptile, bordered by eighteen concentric circles. The piece has four perforations at the height of the figure´s neck for suspension or fastening. Conte Style.

It...

Description :   Laminar hammered gold cuff with embossed design. The cuff has the shape of an open truncated cone and has four holes for tying, two in the part with the largest diameter and two in the part with the smallest diameter. It forms a pair with another bracelet (ID 443, registration no. 4758). Each of the cuffs is embossed at one end of the opening with what appears to be the stylised figure of a crocodile in profile. This image is not easy to recognise with the naked eye as both cuffs are quite deteriorated. The figures have a serpentine body with seven truncated triangles along its external pro...
