ResumoA unique Bell Beaker in Iberia, which was discovered in a single grave in the La Sima Mound (Miño de Medinaceli, Soria, Spain), is presented.The analysis of the decorative technique of this vessel suggests a reconsideration of the supposedly incised technique of the Ciempozuelos style Iberian Beakers.The lineal decorative pattern and the peculiar form of this vessel have their best parallels in the Brittany, and ultimately in the Corded Ware complex, in the context of long distance exchange systems through which Bell Beakers and accompanying objects (mainly gold jewellery) moved between the Brittany and Central Portugal, crossing the interior of Iberia.
