El Calvari cemetery (El Molar, Priorat, Tarragona) has one of the largest series of cremation burials in the Northeast of the Iberian Peninsula. Both its ceramic urns and metal grave goods have been used to suggest a new chronological and cultural framework for the Urnfield culture in the Iberian Peninsula. The whole set of funerary ceramics recorded at the cemetery and largely unpublished since its excavation is presented in this book. These data together with metal artefact associations are used for reviewing preexisting cultural sequences and, furthermore, they serve as the basis for a new interpretaion of social relationships among the communities of the Ebro valley in the first half of the 1st millennium bc.
