Informe preliminar sobre los resultados obtenidos en las excavaciones arqueológicas en la necrópolis orientalizante de La Joya, Huelva

Abstract

The renewal in 1995 of the excavation in Tumulus number 2 of the orientalising necropolis of La Joya in Huelva (Spain), has encouraged further research in this important Tartessian necropolis, confirming its very considerable size and the value of its funeral offerings especially as a result of the findings made during the most recent excavations in 1996 which have brought to light in burial chamber A the sollowing bronze objects: a rhodian-style jar, a hand brazier with one handle and a Mediterranean-style cauldron, as well as tools and iron weapons dating from approximately 700 B.C.
