Covering 11002. Burial mound 11. Cemetery of Tutugi

Red covering 11002, located outside the burial mound 11 of the Iberian cemetery of Tutugi (Galera, Granada, Spain). The Raman spectrum was not conclusive, but the elemental analysis by EDXRF shows high percentage of Fe (5,82% wt) as responsible of red color.

Energy dispersive X- ray fluorescence (EDXRF)

EDAX (model Eagle III) fluorescence spectrometer (CITI, University of Seville). This spectrometer is equipped with a microfocus X-ray tube with an Rh anode, a polycapillary lens for X-ray focussing, and an 80 mm2 energy dispersive Si-(Li) detector. The sample chamber incorporates an XYZ motorized stage for sample positioning. A high resolution microscope is used to position the sample on the desired distance from the polycapillary. To increase the sensitivity of the low Z elements, the sample chamber can be brought under vacuum. For the analysis of the samples, a spot size of 300 µm was chosen at an operating X-ray tube voltage of 40 kV. The tube current was adapted for each sample in order to optimise the detection of X-rays
