Due to environmental, taphonomic, and cultural factors, the examples of preserved textiles in Early Iron Age funerary contexts in southwestern Iberia (ninth–sixth/early fifth centuries BCE) are very rare and fragmentary. For this reason, any attempt to understand the role of textiles in the tomb must necessarily rely on secondary evidence, particularly on the study of metal dress complements or fastenings. Three regional case studies—the necropolis of La Angorrilla (Seville province), the enclosure necropoleis of the Beja region (southern Portugal), and the necropolis of Medellín (Badajoz province)—show how good recording practices, both of archaeological and anthropological material, can result in significant insights into funerary attire, and even highlight the use of funerary wrappings. Based on these case studies, as well as other innovative work currently being developed on the study of metal dress complements, some methodological inferences can be made which could contribute to further developments of this research field.
