Abstract
The proper application of a method of protection and preventing impacts to Archaeological Heritage, developed because of the installation of an electrical power line, has led to the discovery of the necropolis beside Cerro de las Cabezas (Valdepenas, Ciudad Real). The location of the burial area of this great Iron Age oppidum was unknown until now. The fourteen graves documented during this brief intervention correspond to the cremations buried in urns, with goods associated as fusayola, fibulae, weapons and pottery. In this work is presented the ceramologic study of Tomb 1. This is the only one between the graves excavated which has imported pieces. The imported object is a plate of italian terra sigillata, dated between 15/40 AD and sealed in the factory of L. Titivs. Therefore it is an early burial of our era. The finding verifies than in these years persist in Oretania indigenous Iberian funerary rites, which occasionally used import Roman pottery.
