Open Science and Data Management in Rock Art Studies: The Case of Chufín Cave (Cantabria, Spain)
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: Spatial Analysis of Hand Stencils in El Castillo Cave (Spain) Through Geomatic Techniques
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: A Step Forward towards the Characterization of Symbolic Patterns during the Upper Palaeolithic in Europe
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…
From archival historiography to 3D modelling: An accurate reconstruction of the Palaeolithic landscape in El Castillo Cave to explore the spatial dynamics of hand stencil dispersion
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…
Space Analysis in Palaeolithic Cave Art: Towards a Multidisciplinary and Integrated Approach
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…
