Funerary red (cinnabar versus ochre) and megalithic rituals in the central Iberian peninsula. The hypogean necropolis of Valle de las Higueras, Huecas, Toledo, Spain

Abstract: La présence de cinabre dans les sépultures collectives du centre de la péninsule Ibérique, montre un rôle symbolique identifiant des pratiques rituelles bien connues dans les mégalithes du sud de la péninsule. Les données obtenues sur la nécropole de Valle de las Higueras à Toledo, dans le contexte du Chalcolithique de l’intérieur péninsulaire (dès le IVe jusqu’au IIIe millénaire cal BC), constituent un point de repère pour réfléchir sur le « rouge funéraire » dans la Préhistoire récente. La source exotique de… Show more

“…The authors of this study used Pb isotopes to trace that cinnabar to the Almadén mine, located some 280 km to the south. Various reviews have comprehensively traced cinnabar and its use at numerous later prehistoric sites in Iberia (Bueno‐Ramírez et al, 2019; Delibes de Castro, 2000; Domínguez‐Bella, 2010; Hunt‐Ortiz et al, 2011; Inácio et al, 2013; López Padilla et al, 2012; Rocha et al, 2018; Zarzalejos Prieto et al, 2020). These reviews suggest almost invariably that the Almadén mine was the primary source of this mineral pigment, though other smaller mines such as the one at Usagre (Figure 2) may also have been exploited (Rodríguez et al, 2020).…”

“…These reviews suggest almost invariably that the Almadén mine was the primary source of this mineral pigment, though other smaller mines such as the one at Usagre (Figure 2) may also have been exploited (Rodríguez et al, 2020). Regardless, the importance of this mineral pigment in funerary contexts is without question, with evidence from numerous Chalcolithic sites in particular (Figure 2; Bueno‐Ramírez et al, 2019; Emslie et al, 2015, 2016; Rogerio‐Candelera et al, 2013).…”
