All villages have their Iberian necropolis, where rituals are performed incineration.
The location of these sites is difficult to locate because there is an intention of hiding to avoid desecration.

The Iberian necropolis consists of small pits where it is deposited the body cremated in an urn on which are supported funerary items and food consisting of pieces.
