Just Dishes? Red Glazed Pottery from the Iberian Deposit of Zacatín (Granada)

Abstract

We have taken, as a subject of our study, a homogeneous set of red indigenous glazed plates with a very particular profile and without a parallel known for the present time. The above mentioned set was part of the ritual deposit found in Zacatín, a very typical street from Granada. This deposit is a pit close to the River Darro which was filled with the waste of a sacred banquet, possibly related to this same river. In this work we consider the fact that these plates were made ex profeso for the ritual that took place out of Iliberri's walls, around 370 B.C.
