Conjunto Arqueológico de Cástulo

Conjunto Arqueológico de Cástulo
Linares (Jaén), Spain

This Iberian inciniration tomb is located in the North Gate necopolis of Castulo and by the grave goods documented in its interior it has been posible to date it to the second half of the fourth century B.C.

It has a square structure, with several rows of staggered blocks of sandstone which could indicate a step pyramid aspect of the tomb.

The grave goods were found in the centre of the tomb the godos found were a Greek krater, an urn, a plate, three spindle whorls, a small ceramic cup and a ring with an incised bird. It would indicate the presence of an important person in the town, probably linked to the textile industry
