The article "Un depósito de ofrendas de cerámica ática y ungüentarios en la necrópolis ibérica de Alarcos III (Poblete, Ciudad Real)" has been published in the current issue of Archivo Español de Arqueología (AEspA 98 -2025-, 724. DOI: https://doi.org/10.3989/aespa.098.025.724) by Pedro Miguel-Naranjo, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez-Rabadán, Francisco Javier Morales Hervás, David Rodríguez González and M.ª del Rosario García Huerta, from the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha. To date, more than one hundred cremation tombs dating from the 4th tom the 1st century BC have been documented in the Iberian necropolis of Alarcos III, although the possibility of an early phase is not ruled out, given that the archaeological excavation work has not yet been completed. The set of materials studied comes from a ritual funerary deposit linked one of the nearby tumular tombs excavated, but which has not been identified. It consists of 49 pieces of Attic pottery, seven decorated bone plaques –possibly belonging to a small box– and eight unguentaria and a bead glass-paste. Except for the Attic pottery, the remaining materials appeared burned and deformed, as they just have been part of the cremation ritual of the deceased. Of great interest is the set of Attic Red-Figure pottery –with identified examples from the workshops of the Jena Painter, Oxford Grypomachy Painter, Plainer Group Painter, Q Painter and Retorted Painter– and black-glazed pottery, with a formal repertoire of bell kraters, cups, skyphos, glauca, small bowls, askoi, lekanides and unguentaria, which allows the formation of the deposit to be dated between 380-370 BC.
