Abstract

A new and well-preserved example of an Iberian articulated horse spur fi-om Cerro del Santuario (Baza, Granada) leads us to update the study -began by Dr. E. Cuadrado- of these extremely rare and quite complex objects. Only four spurs of this type are known so h. They were found among the grave goods in buriais 200 and 277 at El Cigarraiejo (the so-called 'princely tombs' at this site in Murcia), buriai 70 at Coimbra del Barranco Ancho Uumdla, Murcia) and the new example fi-om Baza (Granada), this last one unfomnately lacking a precise
archaeological context. However, where context is known, it is always that of very high-ranking burials. We can also date this type within the central decades of the fourth century BC. The example fi-om Baza also makes possible to put forward again the hypothesis of a very close relationship during the Tberian Iron Age between the Baza-Galera area in Granada, and the Segura vdey in Murcia, via Carranza-Almaciles-Caravaca.
