PUBLICATION OF OUR COLLABORATOR HUGO ALBERTO MIRA
The Institute of Studies Campo gibraltareños has published the book “ Engravings and cave paintings Cueva de la Horadada ” written by our collaborator Hugo Alberto Mira together with Salvador Escalona and Carlos Gómez de Avellaneda .
The Cueva de la Horadada ( San Roque , Cádiz ), located in the extreme south of the peninsula , is located on a rocky promontory of sandstone , open to the east , where its two mouths look like watchful eyes towards the Sierra Carbonera . This sandstone outcrop marks the geography of the area , being a promontory that stands out in the Sierra del Arca . Its proximity to the Strait of Gibraltar places it in a reference point within the habitat that our ancestors traveled for their establishment for its great potential . This enclave reflects in its walls that the area had a great movement , already in specific moments of the Paleolithic , due to the richness of the area and the possibilities that the environment provided for daily life . The walls of the shelter have the mark of prehistoric artists , from very ancient times , located in the Upper Paleolithic , where they reflected their concerns , through the technique of engraving figures of various animals . Being used this rocky shelter and its support in more recent stages , such as the Neolithic where we could locate the small dotted deer prothome or the schematic motifs with a chronology of the final stages of bronze and even late prehistory in the last stage of the Iron Age . This publication shows the artistic representations captured by the prehistoric man in this peculiar shelter , showing the styles , methods of execution and a possible chronology of the painted and engraved graffiti , always using the method of chronostylistic inferences .
