Beschreibungen/Notizen

• In the Mediterranean watershed of the Iberian Peninsula, Palaeolithic rock art remains a rare phenomenon. Thanks to the discovery of the Cova del Comte, where the art is accompanied by an archaeological deposit, we are able to study it within a defined chronological context. The stylistic features of some of the figures correspond to ancient pre-Magdalenian art, which places it within the Gravettian and early Solutrean period; this information is consistent with the results of the excavation.
