Ceramic vessel 12. Grave 65. Cemetery of Piquía

Funerary urn from the grave 65 (burial chamber of the Iberian prince) located in the Iberian cemetery of Piquía (Arjona, Jaén, Spain). Oxidasing atmosphere. Decoration with red horizontal and vertical lines, and with red semicircles. The red color is manufactured with hematite (Fe2O3). The high concentration of Fe (29.31% wt by EDXRF) indicates an extra addition of iron ore to the clay mixture used in the decoration.
