| Proposal of the artistic
paleolithic sequence |
|
|
A techno-stylistic
analysis, comparative with mobiliary art from Parpalló, the examen of topo-iconographics
dispositives and thematic, the superpositions of the colours and the AMS dates, help us to
order the 872 (1) paleolithic motifs in homogeneus blocks and to set the process of the
differents artistic horizons (Sanchidrián, 1997). |

Notes:
(1) 125 motifs remains unconnected but they are reduced to about ten, because 77 are
tiny rests of pigment, mainly of black color, presumably attributed to post-paleolíthic
pictorial stages, as well as 41 black units linear. (2) Uper Magdalenian or very late
episodes of the glacier.
(3) The doubtful Horizon I could be inserted in some moment of this final phase.
