Abstract

On the occasion of the assembly of a traveling exhibition of photography and archeology, a reproduction of the well-known Iberian Sepulchral Chamber of Toya (Peal de Becerro, Jaén) was made in 1999. For this, latex was used as the molding material and polyester for the casting. The work was planned so that the reproduction was detachable, as light as possible and resistant. The final assembly of the tomb is finished off with the placement of reproductions of the different pieces of the trousseau that were found "in situ" when the tomb was excavated. The visitor can enter the burial chamber and observe it as it was left in Iberian times.
