Uncovering the time-depth of rock art: Seriation and agency in the case of Levantine rock art of eastern Iberia
Eastern Iberia is home to one of the largest concentrations of rock art sites in Europe. Most of them have been attributed to post-glacial graphic traditions created in open-air shelters, often with a considerable number of superimpositions. One such tradition is Levantine art, whose iconography is of great significance for understanding Holocene social practices on a continental scale. In this article, we approach the relative temporality of thi…
Las pinturas rupestres levantinas del Rincón de la Zorra, en la Hoz de la Vieja (Teruel, Aragón)
Este artículo presenta el abrigo con pinturas rupestres del Rincón de la Zorra, recientemente descubierto en el término municipal de Hoz de la Vieja, provincia de Teruel, en la cuenca hidrográfica del río Martín. Este abrigo vendría a sumarse a los localizados en el valle del río Martín, cuyo tramo medio fue declarado Parque Cultural y cuyo nexo común de delimitación responde a la localización de numerosos abrigos con arte rupestre. Aunque el núm…
Scientific virtual reality as a research tool in prehistoric archaeology: The case of Atxurra Cave (northern Spain)
Highlights: This study proposes the practical utility of an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) experience for the dissemination and study of Palaeolithic Rock Art. Thanks to a series of multidisciplinary studies, a virtual reconstruction of the archaeological context of an area with rock art has been achieved. The Palaeolithic lighting systems documented in Atxurra cave have been virtually recreated, allowing real-time interaction through VR. Abstrac…
Seeing is believing: An Augmented Reality application for Palaeolithic rock art
Palaeolithic art is an unknown and often difficult to see cultural manifestation. • The conditions for viewing the rock art have been improved through augmented reality. • The light variation of the decorated panel has been overcome with LiDAR technology. • The LiDAR project has been successful implemented in caves and open-air stations. • The app democratises rock art and enhances the on-site experience. By developing new recording methodologies…
Rock paintings in an engraved landscape. Reassessing the exceptionality of the pictographs of Croc-Marin (Fontainebleau forest, France)
Rock surface luminescence dating of prehistoric rock art from central Iberia
Rock art paintings are notoriously difficult to date numerically. Recently, luminescence dating has been shown to provide reliable rock surface burial ages in various archaeological settings. Here we use the cross‐cutting relationship between a fallen rock and two paintings of the Iberian Levantine (older) and Schematic (younger) styles to constrain the age of the paintings by dating the rockfall event using rock surface luminescence dating. Infr…
Filling the Void: Rock-art Continuity Over the Pleistocene–Holocene Boundary in Eastern Iberia
In this paper we study several panels with incised engravings, which have been discovered in recent years, from two shelters in the area of the River Martín (Teruel), Cañada de Marco and Los Borriquitos. They are of great scientific interest for several reasons. Firstly, because they represent an expansion of the Late Upper Palaeolithic engraving facies of Mediterranean Iberia, limited until now to ten sites. In these two new sites, these incised…

Dating Methods (Absolute and Relative) in Archaeology of Art
Still no archaeological evidence that Neanderthals created Iberian cave art
Tool mark analyses for the identification of palaeolithic art and modern graffiti. The case of Grottes d’Agneux in Rully (Saône-et-Loire, France)
The cave of Atxurra: A new major Magdalenian rock art sanctuary in Northern Spain
On the limits of 3D capture: A new method to approach the photogrammetric recording of palaeolithic thin incised engravings in Atxurra Cave (northern Spain)
Dating Methods (Absolute and Relative) in Archaeology of Art
Diagnosis and monitoring of rock art sites in “4D · arte rupestre” projects
Since 2013 the projects “4D · arte rupestre” have been carried out in more than 20 sites along the eastern half of the Iberian Peninsula, in locations included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1998. The purpose of these projects was the development of protocols for diagnosis and monitoring of rock art sites, using several cutting-edge technologies, including 3D modelling based in close range photogrammetry, gigapixel imaging, enhancement wit…
The Rock Art of Sub-Scandinavian Europe
Upper Palaeolithic art is found across much of Europe as portable (mobiliary) art, pictographs or engravings in deep caves, or as engravings in open-air sites. European Upper Palaeolithic art was among the first prehistoric art to be discovered by researchers, and it remains among the oldest dated art in the world. Since the late 1800s, a range of theoretical approaches have been used to comprehend its meaning(s), with most effort aimed at the co…
The colours of rock art. Analysis of colour recording and communication systems in rock art research
Palaeolithic Fine and Striated Line Techniques at the Origins of the Levantine Style of the Iberian Peninsula: Evidence for Further Thought
The discovery of Levantine art in the early 20th century caused much debate over its chronological and cultural attributions. This century-old debate still lacks a satisfactory conclusion, despite becoming increasingly nuanced, and researchers remain divided between those who see an earlier Palaeolithic origin and those who see a Neolithic or subsequent horizon. Still others argue for its emergence in the intervening Epipaleolithic / Mesolithic p…
Techniques de traits fins et striés du paléolithique aux origines du style levantin dans la Péninsule Ibérique: Éléments de preuve pour pousser la réflexion
La découverte de l’art levantin aux débuts du vingtième siècle suscita de nombreux débats sur ses attributions chrono-culturelles. Ce débat centenaire manque toujours de conclusion satisfaisante, bien qu’il soit devenu de plus en plus nuancé, et les chercheurs demeurent divisés entre ceux qui lui trouvent une origine paléolithique et ceux qui l’attribuent au Néolithique ou aux périodes plus récentes. D’autres soutiennent son émergence durant la t…
