  • Open Science and Data Management in Rock Art Studies

    Open Access•Agustín F Ramírez-Ortiz, D Garate et al.•ARTICLE•Open Archaeology•2026•References: 20

    This research paper focuses on implementing new methodologies for sharing research data in Palaeolithic rock art. This approach uses advanced 3D technologies and adopts the Open Science paradigm, aligned with FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). It combines high-resolution photogrammetry, laser scanning, and 3D modelling techniques to create accurate reproductions of decorated panels. These tools not only facilitate th…

  • Mapping Palaeolithic Imprints

    Open Access•Olga Spaey, I Intxaurbe et al.•ARTICLE•Archaeometry•2026•References: 32

    We present the application of a new quantitative approach to space study in Palaeolithic cave art. Using GIS, we analysed the distribution and position of hand stencils in El Castillo cave to track the gestures and behaviours of Palaeolithic societies. Our analysis shows that these motifs are located in easily accessible areas and can be viewed by a large public simultaneously (16 individuals on average). The study also sheds light on the presenc…

  • Reevaluating Hand Stencil Phenomena in Cave Art

    Open Access•Verónica Fernández‐navarro, Olga Spaey et al.•ARTICLE•Cambridge Archaeological Journal•2026•Cited by: 1•References: 72

    Among the most recurring motifs in the prehistoric rock-art corpus, handprints stand out as one of the most significant elements due to their dual nature, both artistic and fossil. These markings represent a unique source of information for characterizing the corresponding artists and the social and cultural context of prehistoric communities. This study focuses on a comprehensive characterization of the phenomenon of Upper Palaeolithic hand repr…

    The decorated caves contain the earliest artistic expressions of humankind and represent a major cultural heritage. Their significance has been recognized by UNESCO, which has declared them a World Heritage Site. However, they are extremely fragile environments, exposed to various factors of deterioration that threaten their conservation. To implement appropriate protective measures, it is essential to understand the dynamics of these underground…

    We propose a comprehensive approach for the reconstruction of the prehistoric state of El Castillo Cave (Puente Viesgo, Cantabria) that allows a precise spatial analysis of the distribution of its parietal motifs. The cave has undergone numerous changes over time due to both geological and anthropic processes, which have altered its original appearance. In the aim of understanding how Palaeolithic societies used the space for creating rock art, w…

  • Decoding Palaeolithic Hand Stencils

    This study pioneers the application of geometric morphometrics to Palaeolithic hand stencils, offering new insights into the problematics of classic rock art using innovative methodology. Employing a triple approach encompassing contemporary, experimental, and archaeological populations, the research achieves a precise estimation of age and biological sex through hand morphometry, enhancing our anthropometric understanding of the individuals whos…

  • The Role of Palaeolithic Cave-Art

    Open Access•D Garate•ARTICLE•Journal of Archaeological Method…•2025•References: 38

    The symbolic expression, due to its social and cultural potential, should make a decisive contribution to the reconstruction of Palaeolithic social systems. Paradoxically, the limitations of the traditional study methods do not facilitate the exploitation of this possibility. In this article, we have presented an initial proposal to approach the study of visual rock art from a different perspective, focused in the calculation of the resources inv…

  • Finger flutings at New Guinea II Cave, lower Snowy River valley (Victoria), GunaiKurnai country

    Open Access•Madeleine A Kelly, Bruno David et al.•ARTICLE•Australian Archaeology•2025•References: 12

    Finger flutings’, the marks made when people run their fingers along soft cave walls and ceilings, are typically found in limestone caves. Such marks capture a momentary impression of engagement with a place: old (archaeological) finger flutings mark the gestures of people past (in Australia, often referred to as the ‘Old Ancestors’) as they ventured into the depths of caves. In Australia, finger flutings are rare and spread across the southern h…

  • Historical Dimensions of Rock Art

    Open Access•María Cruz Berrocal, D Garate•ARTICLE•Cambridge Archaeological Journal•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 69

    Research on rock art around the world takes for granted the premise that rock art, as a product of the Upper Palaeolithic symbolic revolution, is a natural behavioral expression of Homo sapiens, essentially reflecting new cognitive abilities and intellectual capacity of modern humans. New discoveries of Late Pleistocene rock art in Southeast Asia as well as recent dates of Neandertal rock art are also framed in this light. We contend in this pape…

  • Space Analysis in Palaeolithic Cave Art

    Open Access•Olga Spaey, D Garate et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Archaeological Method…•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 27

    We present a revision of the concept of space in Palaeolithic cave art. Previous research attempting to approach this notion encounters several gaps, which surface on multiple levels: subjectivity, vagueness, restrictions on its conceptualisation, its illustration (two-dimensional description and representation), among others. We reassess the key elements at play, interpretative attempts, and theoretical concepts to gain a better understanding of…

  • Drawing in the depths

    Open Access•I Intxaurbe, D Garate et al.•ARTICLE•Archaeological and Anthropological…•2024•Cited by: 5•References: 95

    The creation of rock art in the deep areas of caves was one of the most unique symbolic activities of Magdalenian societies in southwestern Europe between 13.5 and 21 thousand years ago. Previous research has suggested that these works of art were not placed in caves at random but rather their location corresponds to a pre-established structure. However, despite the suggestive idea of pre-planning the decoration of the endokarst, it is challengin…

    The endokarst landscape is the result of long erosion and sedimentation processes that have modelled an environment in which capricious forms abound. Despite being a hostile environment for human life, these caves must have attracted the attention of human groups from as early as the Palaeolithic. It is striking that many examples of rock art appear to be closely symbiotic with their natural support; nevertheless, it is difficult to confirm any r…

  • Visualizing childhood in Upper Palaeolithic societies

    L’ouverture, en 2012, d’une campagne de fouille dirigée par l’un d’entre nous (JMP) dans la grotte Tastet (Saint-Colome, Pyrénées-Atlantiques) a fourni l’opportunité d’une nouvelle analyse des parois ornées de cette cavité. La révision de l’art pariétal (menée par DG, OR et RB), connu depuis les années 1970, fournit une vision actualisée de l’ensemble orné et quelque peu différente des publications antérieures (Omnès 1983 ; Blanc et Marsan 1984).…

    The cave of Isturitz is one of the most important archaeological sites of the prehistory of Western Europe. Human occupations followed each other in the cavity from at least the Middle Paleolithic to the Roman age. In 1913, Passermard started archaeological excavations there, and a calcite pillar was discovered next to the original entrance that was sculpted with a dozen of animal representations. In this excavation, the Magdalenian levels yielde…

    La Peña de Candamo was discovered by the scientific community in 1914, being one of the first known caves in the Cantabrian region, and declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2008. The only monographic study of its parietal art was led and published by E. Hernández Pacheco in 1919, showing exceptional complexity and graphic density. In 2007, a new research project was launched to update all the information related to the cave’s parietal art fro…

    Open Access•Olivia Rivero, D Garate•ARTICLE•Paléo•2014

    Le site archéologique de la grotte d’Isturitz (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) est spécialement connu pour la quantité et l’importance de son art mobilier magdalénien. En ce qui concerne les supports ornés des niveaux solutréens, gravettiens et aurignaciens, ils sont largement méconnus, particulièrement ceux correspondant aux fouilles de Saint-Périer qui ont livré un nombre assez significatif d’objets décorés. Ce travail présente une partie des résultats d…
