Description
Carinated ceramic vessel, with an everted rim and handle with cylindrical appendage button. These types of handles have been used as an element of relative dating in the Bronze Age. It was recovered together with some bones during excavations carried out by Josep Colominas and Josep de Calassanz Serra i Ràfols in the early 20 th century in the Dolmen of Biscarbó. This megalithic monument is a rectangular tomb.
