La necrópolis de Los Collados de Almedinilla (Córdoba). Historiografía de un cementerio complejo

The excavations in the Necropolis of Los Collados, carried out by Luis Maraver y Alfaro in the second half of the 19th century, and afterwards, those done by Pierre Paris and Arthur Engels at the beginning of the 20th century, serve to define archeologically that which would be considered Iberian culture. Since then, apart from a few reviews of materials, this site has been forgotten to the point that its exact location was unknown to researchers. It was because of this that prospecting work and excavation were carried out in May and July 2019 that allowed archeologists to locate the necropolis and recover various tombs and ritual deposits. In this work we present the preliminary results of both interventions

Desde entonces, al margen de algunas revisiones de materiales, este yacimiento ha sido olvidado hasta el punto de que su ubicación exacta era desconocida para los investigadores. Es por ello que durante mayo y julio de 2019 se realizó una campaña de prospección y excavación que permitió localizar la necrópolis y recuperar varias tumbas y depósitos rituales. En este trabajo presentamos los resultados preliminares de ambas intervencione
