Location
Topographic context
It was found in a layer of rubble, with a chronologically heterogeneous and revolted material culture, excavated in the archaeological intervention carried out in 2008-2009 on the site of the future building called "Young Factory"; This site is located about 50 m north of the Albarregas River, outside the old city walls and close to the road that left the same in a north direction through the door corresponding to the decumanus maximus, whose use as a funerary space is well established.
