The burial of a young man with a magnificent gravegoods has been known since the 70s of the s. XX. The tomb was found during actual farming works and has no other archaeological context in its proximity. The atonishing gravegoods are integrated by a gold ribbon, a tanged dagger, 11 Palmela points, an archer's wrist-guard, 1 flint arrowhead and 3 vessels with the characteristic ceramic decoration of the Ciemplozuelos campaniforme style. This is one of the European Bell-beaker tombs with the highest concentration of metallic elements in a single individual. This work presents the traceological study of the set of ornaments and weapons, and provides a new vision of the different studies carried out on this unique set.
