El arte rupestre esquemático del Arroyo Barbaón (Parque Nacional de Monfragüe, Cáceres): contextualización arqueológica y caracterización de pigmentos

Abstract

Monfrague National Park (Caceres) preserved a very important schematic rock art complex with more than a hundred shelters with postpalaeolithic paintings and engravings. In this paper we'll provide We have proceeded to the digital documentation of 29 rock art shelter figures. Furthermore, through the archaeological excavation inside Cueva del Sapo, which have provided some pottery fragments and stone tools as well as bonfire remains, we try to get the archaeological context for the rock art complex. Finally, the finding of a small detached fragment with some traces in red in the Friso del Terror shelter, has allowed the analysis to characterize the pigment that was used. The goal was to provide accurate information about technical issues, chronology and functionality of schematic rock art in this natural park in Caceres province.
