New insights into the end of Palaeolithic Cultures in Mediterranean Iberia
To be or not to be an engraving
Developed a high-precision method for detecting nearly invisible Final Palaeolithic engravings. • Recording method broadly applicable for engraved art and object decoration worldwide. • Integrated digital photogrammetry and microtopographic GIS analysis of Digital elevation models for objective documentation. • Provided detailed morphological analysis of engravings to infer artistic techniques and tool use. • Identified methodological limitations…
Leveraging GIS and SfM photogrammetry for monitoring and risk assessment of rock art sites
Adaptations of the lithic production in the Sauveterroid level of Coveta de la Foia site (Vilafranca, Castelló)
In this paper, we analyse two different lithic adaptations of the Sauveterroid Mediterranean culture in the Valencian Country. On one hand, we have a standardized serial production of projectiles such as backed bladelets and backed micropoints. On the other hand, there is a non-predetermined and less standardized production of a large number of domestic lithic tools such as end-scrapers and retouched blades. The lithic production of this Sauveter…
Digital enhancement and photogrammetric recording of La Joquera Levantine rock art (Borriol, Castelló)
The heritage values of Levantine rock art, as UNESCO World Heritage since 1998 and as an Asset of Cultural Interest since 1985 according to the Spanish Heritage Act, together with its fragile nature, demand developing initiatives aimed at regularly revisiting and monitoring the sites and updating any existing records (descriptions, tracings, photographs, etc.). This is especially important for long-known sites, such as La Joquera, discovered and …
Descubrimiento de arte rupestre levantino y esquemático en Castelló
Este artículo presenta el Abrigo del Mas de la Rambla, un nuevo yacimiento con arte rupestre en la provincia de Castelló. El análisis del dispositivo gráfico permitió localizar un total de 29 motivos con rasgos distintivos de dos expresiones artísticas prehistóricas: arte levantino y esquemático. Su valoración en el contexto de ambas tradiciones revela que, junto a motivos, temas y características habituales en ambos estilos, el yacimiento aporta…
Hanging over the Void. Uses of Long Ropes and Climbing Rope Ladders in Prehistory as Illustrated in Levantine Rock Art
Direct or indirect evidence of ropemaking are scarce in European prehistory. Only a few references to Middle or Upper Palaeolithic remains are known to us, with more examples towards the Holocene. The archaeological contexts of ropes offer little information about possible uses, as the activities they are used for are often archaeologically invisible. However, some rock-art traditions shed some light on potential uses, worth exploring. In Spain, …
En Femenino
La investigación sobre arte prehistórico ha experimentado una notable evolución en clave de género. Las teorías que durante décadas atribuyeron exclusivamente a los hombres el papel de pintores/artistas y la capacidad artística, y que presentaban a las mujeres simplemente como modelos, están siendo reemplazadas por enfoques de género más inclusivos. Estos enfoques utilizan el arte prehistórico como un medio para reivindicar la presencia femenina …
Nuevo estudio de los conjuntos rupestres del Barranco de Gibert I y II (Mosqueruela, Teruel) y su contextualización arqueológica en el Maestrazgo
La nueva documentación llevada a cabo en los abrigos de Barranco de Gibert I y II (Mosqueruela, Teruel), con representaciones clasificables dentro del ciclo Levantino y Esquemático/Abstracto, ha permitido registrar nuevos motivos no identificados hasta el momento, así como plantear la reinterpretación de algunas representaciones ya conocidas. Para el conjunto Levantino (Barranco Gibert I) se ofrece una nueva lectura de la composición escénica sug…
La Balma del Barranc de La Fontanella (Vilafranca, Castelló) y sus implicaciones en el conocimiento del Mesolítico Geométrico del Mediterráneo ibérico y el Valle del Ebro
En este artículo damos a conocer por primera vez las ocupaciones humanas del Mesolítico reciente del yacimiento de la Balma del Barranc de la Fontanella (Vilafranca, Castelló). A partir del análisis de la industria lítica, la fauna, el adorno y la sedimentología se realiza un análisis de las características de este yacimiento y se contextualiza tanto a nivel local (Comarca del Maestrat/Maestrazgo) como del Mediterráneo Ibérico. Además, la compara…
Nuevo hallazgo de arte mueble de estilo Paleolítico en el Noreste peninsular
This paper reports the discovery of a schist slab with 7 zoomorphic figures (deer, wild goats and/or bulls) and other engraved remains at Coves del Fem site (Ulldemolins, Priorat, Tarragona) in 2020. This find adds to the limited, although unique, repertoire of portable art of Palaeolithic style found so far in the northeastern part of the Iberian Peninsula. A detailed analysis of this piece and comparison with the artistic record known so far fo…
Últimos mesolíticos o pioneros neolíticos? El Abrigo de la Font d'Horta (Vilafranca, Castelló, País Valenciano)
En este trabajo presentamos los materiales recuperados en la excavación del abrigo de la Font d'Horta (Vilafranca, Castelló). Las características de estos materiales, entre las que destacan las armaduras geométricas (entre ellas un segmento de doble bisel) y la datación obtenida sobre hueso, nos remiten a los momentos de transición entre las últimas poblaciones cazadoras y recolectoras y la llegada de las primeras comunidades neolíticas. La valor…
Shifting ontologies and the use of ethnographic data in prehistoric rock art research
In 1971–1972, excavations at Cloggs Cave, a classic Australian archaeological site, revealed new archaeological evidence on the subsistence economy and environmental adaptations of southeastern Aboriginal peoples during and after the Last Glacial Maximum. A re-thinking of the site’s original sequence coupled with new excavations in 2019 now offers a very different picture of the archaeology, a reading more akin with ethnographic and current Gunai…

El abrigo de Barranco Gómez (Castellote, Teruel), un nuevo conjunto con arte levantino en el núcleo rupestre del Guadalope
Este artículo presenta un nuevo hallazgo de arte levantino en el curso medio del río Guadalope, el abrigo de Barranco Gómez, y revisa una temática particular en esta tradición artística: la recolección de la miel. Entre las novedades destaca la escena de recolección de miel mejor conservada y más compleja de este arte, con un desarrollo en dos planos diferenciados (pared y techo). En ella, un trepador, con rasgos faciales, asciende por una escala…
Aportaciones al conocimiento del Mesolítico Antiguo en la vertiente mediterránea de la península ibérica
En este artículo damos a conocer por primera vez las ocupaciones humanas del Mesolítico Antiguo del abrigo del Barranc de La Fontanella (Vilafranca, Castelló). La presencia humana en el valle del Ebro y Catalunya parece bien constatada en este periodo por un buen número de yacimientos. Sin embargo, la actual provincia de Castelló, que es la continuidad natural de este territorio por el sureste, carecía hasta ahora de evidencias claras de una ocup…
Characterizing the pigments and paints of prehistoric artists
This paper offers a broad and critical overview of current discussions on the potential uses and the characterization of pigments in prehistory, with a special focus on prehistoric rock art. Today, analytical approaches to pigments and paints allow us to go beyond the identification of the elemental and molecular composition of these archaeological remains, to explore also raw material procurement, transformation and use strategies of interest to…

Hidden Sites, Hidden Images, Hidden Meanings
Using an ethnographic approach, this research assesses common assumptions in rock art research in terms of their validity for Aboriginal rock art sites in the Barunga region of the Northern Territory, Australia. In particular, we assess the potential and limits of the commonly held assumption that open or restricted access to sites and/or the meaning of motifs can be assessed by determining the visibility of the site or image within the landscape…
Maliwawa figures—a previously undescribed Arnhem Land rock art style
In this paper, a previously undescribed rock art style consisting of large human figures and animals with stroke-line infill is introduced. These depictions have been named Maliwawa Figures. They are primarily found in northwest Arnhem Land and to date have been recorded at 87 sites from Awunbarna (Mount Borradaile area) to the Namunidjbuk clan state of the Wellington Range. There are solitary figures and others arranged in compositions or scenes…
New Insights into the Rock Art of Anbangbang Gallery, Kakadu National Park

Theoretical Perspectives in Rock Art Research
Early Australian Anthropomorphs
Early depictions of anthropomorphs in rock art provide unique insights into life during the deep past. This includes human engagements with the environment, socio-cultural practices, gender and uses of material culture. In Australia, the Dynamic Figure rock paintings of Arnhem Land are recognized as the earliest style in the region where humans are explicitly depicted. Important questions, such as the nature and significance of body adornment in …

Identification, Processing and Use of Red Pigments (Hematite and Cinnabar) in the Valencian Early Neolithic (Spain)
The results of the first elemental and structural physicochemical analyses (SEM–EDX, TXRF, XRD, FTIR, GC and EDXRF) of Early Neolithic red pigment samples from the region of Valencia confirm one of the earliest uses of cinnabar (HgS) in Spain (5300 to 5000 cal bc ). They also inform on the storage of massive quantities of hematite and the development of specific technologies of hematite‐based paint production and use. The samples were recovered a…

The rock art of Madjedbebe (Malakunanja II)
The western Arnhem Land site of Madjedbebe – a site hitherto erroneously named Malakunanja II in scientific and popular literature but identified as Madjedbebe by senior Mirarr Traditional Owners – is widely recognised as one of Australia’s oldest dated human occupation sites (Roberts et al. 1990a:153, 1998; Allen and O’Connell 2014; Clarkson et al. 2017). Yet little is known of its extensive body of rock art. The comparative lack of interest in …
The rock art of Ingaanjalwurr, western Arnhem Land, Australia
The painted and beeswax rock art of Ingaanjalwurr rockshelter in western Arnhem Land is a unique assemblage of art within an unassuming rockshelter. By combining a variety of approaches and methods to the study of Ingaanjalwurr, we were able to draw together an important archaeological context for inferring the antiquity of the painted rock art, as well as direct dates for the age of beeswax art. This chapter provides an overview of the rock art …
