José Miguel García Cano and Rosa M.ª Gualda Bernal have published the monograph Igualdad y desigualdad de género en la sociedad ibérica. El ejemplo de Coimbra del Barranco Ancho (Jumilla, Murcia), where they analysed, from a gender perspective, the representation of women in the three Iberian necropolis linked to the town of Coimbra del Barranco Ancho. As an example of this study, the tomb 213 is analysed, belonging to a young woman, possibly adolescent, and with a high social status, since it presents a rich grave goods formed by more than 70 objects, among which an important group of Greek attic pottery. The tomb is dated in the middle of the fourth century BC. The work is accompanied an annex by Eulalia Subirà, which studies the bone remains that survived the cremation of the dead body and that were deposited in the tomb. And another annex by Mireia Celma that analyses the archaeobotanical remains from the funeral pyre and inside one of the grave goods.
