L’uso del cratere attico come urna cineraria nella ritualità funeraria iberica: il caso della sepoltura 137 di Cabezo Lucero (Guardamar del Segura, Alicante)

Abstract

The Attic vases in the Iberian context sometimes acquired new functions with respect to the Greek world, as it is denoted in the case of the red-figure krater converted into a cinerary urn, a well-attested use in Andalucia. This paper is dedicated to the examination of the burial 137 of the necropolis of Cabezo Lucero (Guardamar del Segura, Alicante), which it has returned an attic krater used as a container of the bones and which it constitutes an exceptional case within the alicantino funerary space.
