0291 - Vasos / Pots




Ainda nas deposições de restos de cremações mais um vaso de mármore

Again in the depositions of cremated remains: another marble pot.


E um novo campaniforme, com uma decoração fora do comum: triângulos feitos por linhas a pontilhado delimitadas por linhas de pontos em zigzag.

And a new bell beaker, with an unusual decoration: triangular sequences of "pontilhado" delimited by zigzag lines of dotes.

  1. Dr. Valera,
    Do you think it would be possible at some point in the future to extract dormant yeast cells from any of the beaker pottery?

    Many Thanks,

  2. It is a possibility, if there is anything preserved. We are always open to collaborations.

    1. It would be fascinating to see these old yeasts reinvigorated if they can be isolated. Thank you,
