Covering 23-1. Burial mound 23. Cemetery of Galera.

Red covering 23-1, located inside the burial mound 23 of the Iberian cemetery of Tutugi (Galera, Granada, Spain). Goethite [FeO(OH)] is responsible for the red color. MRS analysis also identifies gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) and dolomite [CaMg(CO3)2] as the main raw materials of the covering.
