Archaeology / prehistory, funereal customs | | Spanish term or phrase: fusayola | Talking about women's grave goods of the Vettones in Iberia:
mujeres, en general asociadas a fusayolas y pequeños adornos (brazaletes, anillos, fíbulas
Any ideas? I think it's to do with textiles, some extra part of a spindle or bobbin.
Thanks |
