Introduction Among his many meticulous publications on Spanish Upper Palaeolithic art, Rodrigo de Balbín Behrmann has documented many examples of the application of red pigments to cave walls directly by the fingers or hand, such as washes of red, paired or multiple lines, and finger dots (e.g. in La Lloseta [Balbín et al. 2005] and in Tito Bustillo [Balbín 1989; Balbín et al. 2002]). Perhaps the most iconic form of such interactions between the hand, pigments and cave walls are hand stencils, which are perhaps best contextualised as the most obvious extreme on a continuum of hand markings on walls.

  • SIG08 Davidson
    CLOTTES J. (dir.) 2012. — L’art pléistocène dans le monde / Pleistocene art of the world / Arte pleistoceno en el mundo Actes du Congrès IFRAO, Tarascon-sur-Ariège, septembre 2010 – Symposium « Signes, symboles, mythes et idéologie… » Symbolism and becoming a hunter-gatherer Iain DAVIDSON* I dedicate this paper to the memory of Andrée Rosenfeld. From the time when, as an undergraduate, I read her book with Peter Ucko (Ucko & Rosenfeld 1967) that corrected the excesses of the structuralist approach to French cave “art” to the occasion of a visit to her home only months before she passed away, I found Andrée a model of good sense about all matters to do with all forms of rock “art”. She gave me and many others nothing but sound advice and managed to navigate between theory and data with more clear sight of her destination than most others. And she was, simply, one of the nicest people who ever became an archaeologist. She will be sorely missed. Pleistocene paintings and engravings are not art From time to time, we all worry about the use of the word “art” in connection with what we study (see review in Bradley 2009, Ch. 1). The images on rock and other surfaces that concern us here have some visual similarity with some of what is called art in other contexts, particularly when they are of great beauty (e.g. Chauvet et al. 1995; Clottes 2001). Yet the associations of art –paintings, sculptures and other works– over the last six hundred years (see e.g. Gombrich 1995) (or perhaps only three hundred according to Shiner 2001), mean that it is highly unlikely that any paintings or engraved images on rocks or in caves relate to social, economic, and cultural circumstances similar in any way to those of art in the twenty-first century.

  • Decoding European Palaeolithic Art: Extremely Ancient Knowledge of Precession of the Equinoxes
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 5, Issue 1 – Pages 1-30 Decoding European Palaeolithic Art: Extremely Ancient knowledge of Precession of the Equinoxes † By Martin B. Sweatman & Alistair Coombs A consistent interpretation is provided for zoomorphic artworks at Neolithic Göbekli Tepe and Çatalhöyük as well as European Palaeolithic cave art. It appears they all display the same method for recording dates based on precession of the equinoxes, with animal symbols representing an ancient zodiac. The same constellations are used today in the West, although some of the zodiacal symbols are different. In particular, the Shaft Scene at Lascaux is found to have a similar meaning to Pillar 43 at Göbekli Tepe. Both can be viewed as memorials of catastrophic encounters with the Taurid meteor stream, consistent with Clube and Napier’s theory of coherent catastrophism. The date of the likely comet strike recorded at Lascaux is 15,150 ± 200 BC, corresponding closely to the onset of a climate event recorded in a Greenland ice core. A survey of radiocarbon dates of these animal symbols from Chauvet and other Palaeolithic caves is consistent with this zodiacal interpretation with an extraordinary level of statistical significance. Finally, the Lion Man of Hohlenstein-Stadel, circa 38,000 BC, is also consistent with this interpretation, indicating this knowledge is extremely ancient and was widespread. Introduction This work concerns our understanding of the astronomical knowledge of ancient people. This knowledge, it seems, enabled them to record dates, using animal symbols to represent star constellations, in terms of precession of the equinoxes. Conventionally, Hipparchus of Ancient Greece is credited with discovering this astronomical phenomenon.

  • The Rock Art of Sub- Scandinavian Europe
    OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – FIRSTPROOFS, Wed Jun 13 2018, NEWGEN Chapter 4 The Rock Art of Sub- Scandinavian Europe Olivia Rivero and Juan F. Ruiz Palaeolithic Rock Art and the Beginning of Rock Art Research In Western Europe, during the middle of the nineteenth century, Edouard Lartet began to unearth portable art from archaeological excavations at sites such as La Madeleine and Laugerie- Basse (Dordogne, France), with similar findings also being made in other regions including the Pyrenees between Spain and France, Belgium, and Great Britain. The art was quickly attributed to the Upper Palaeolithic and soon broadly accepted for its great age (Lartet & Christy 1864), but this was not to be the case for on-wall (pa- rietal) art whose initially suggested Upper Palaeolithic antiquity received consider- able resistance: discovered in 1878 at Chabot Cave and 1879 at Altamira by Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola, it was not until 1902 that on- wall cave art was finally recognized as Upper Palaeolithic art (Cartailhac 1902). This delay was a consequence of the evolu- tionary thinking that prevailed during the late nineteenth century, together with a lack of precedence for such arts. From an evolutionary perspective that required the earliest European art to be rudimentary, the attribution of complex artistic phenomena to ‘primitive’ Ice Age societies was pretty much inconceivable and too problematic to be acceptable for the leading scientists of the day (Moro & González Morales 2004). Early in the twentieth century, rock art research became strongly influenced by the discovery of many sites in two regions especially: the Iberian Peninsula (e.g., Altamira, El Castillo, Hornos de la Peña, La Pasiega, La Pileta) and France, mainly in the Dordogne and the Pyrenees (e.g., Les Combarelles, Font- de- Gaume, Gargas, Marsoulas).

At El Castillo Cave, application of U-series dating to calcite accretions has established a minimum age of 37,290 years for underlying red hand stencils, implying execution in the earlier part of the Aurignacian if not beforehand. Together with the series of red disks, one of which has a minimum age of 40,800 years, these motifs lie at the base of the El Castillo parietal stratigraphy.
