El límite sur de la necrópolis medieval Judía del Cerro de la Horca (Toledo) y el problema del contacto con otros cementerios

Abstract

The archaeological excavation of a plot on 25 General Villalba St. has allowed for the identification of what could have been part the southern end of the Medieval Jewish Cemetery of the Cerro de la Horca, an area characterized by the presence of three different rite cemeteries: the aforementioned Je-wish cemetery, a Muslim Taifa Period cemetery linked to the Madrid road, and a Christian cemetery associated to the San Eugenio hermitage. In addition, the lack of lucillos (brick half-barrelled vaults) and the presence of side covacha (rock-cut) and terraced tombs contributes to a more complete knowledge of both the burial typology known for this cemetery, and its evolution and development.
