Abrigo de la viña (La manzaneda, oviedo, Asturias). Estudio de sus grabados parietales

Abstract

We present in this paper the Paleolithic engravings of La Viña rock shelter (La Manzaneda, Oviedo, Asturias). Using the photogrammetry made by J. Fortea at the end of the 1990´s, we document the rock engravings conserved along the rock front that protects the settlement. Two cultural horizons are included: the first one, Aurignacian, is non-figurative and aniconic; the second one, Gravettian-Solutrean, includes animal figures, mostly female deer. This parietal group conforms, almost without exception, to the general graphic conventions repeated along the Nalón river basin.
