Paintings found in The Narrows. The paintings are done in a rock overhang, with an age of more than 4,000 years. This time, we talked about the discovery of a new season of prehistoric rock art, some days ago by José Antonio Postigo, a member of Ecologists Action, watching birds with binoculars on the site of The Narrows. The paintings are done in a rock overhang, which makes it a little shelter under the weather direct.
release this to the Municipal Archaeology Service, could then certify the finding and report to the Provincial Office of Culture of the Junta de Andalucía. We must remember here the great importance of this type of artistic expression because, according to art. 40.2 of Law 16/1985 of 25 June on English Historical Heritage "are declared of Cultural Interest by operation of this Law caves, shelters and sites containing rock art manifestations. "
The set consists of a group of motifs painted in red tones that we can include in the schematic rock art known as, examples of which can be dated within a broad chronological brackets located between the Neolithic and Chalcolithic. We are therefore faced with an artistic conducted more than 4,000 years ago and has lasted until today.
The panel paintings is small (about 63 x 70 cm). Recognized at least seven anthropomorphic (human figures), not all of the same type, a ramiforme (as a branch or tree) which is the larger figure, with 20 cm high, and other reasons not fully identified yet.
The emergence of art is a demonstration of maturity in the human evolutionary scale, which requires great emotional capacities and mental abstraction, so we have to wait until the Middle and Upper Paleolithic to attend the first human and artistic such. Prehistoric man or record does not paint to decorate the cliffs, looking for a mere aesthetic contemplation, but in response to abstract approaches linked to their mentality.
Although the town of Priego we Paleolithic rock art (Cave of Cholon), most under known stations, like this new example of The Angosturas, the schematic rock art, caves and Murcielaguina Cholon, Tajo de Zagrilla, Hill of the wolverine and Sierra Alcaide coats.
The themes of these paintings is varied such as, among the figures represented, there are animals, humans, idols and geometric lines which sometimes can recognize specific objects. All performances are carried out with spot colors, use a single color (preferably red or black) and lack of perspective. The schematic is clear, so simple lines are drawn to the figures may be more complicated to make (animals or the human figure).
The full significance of this type of schematic depiction currently escapes us, but we can say that the religious motivation would not be the only one that prompted the artists who made them, and that in many cases, perhaps it is a "writing glyph "which records a series of facts of greater or lesser interest (initiation rites, meetings and group actions, etc.). It has also proved the relationship expressed through this type of schematic rock art between a territory and the ethnic group that inhabits and exploits its resources. In our case, the site of The Angosturas has two caves of archaeological interest, Anguita Huerta and Murcielaguina, abundant water and geological landscape suitable for the practice of agriculture and animal husbandry, economic bases throughout recent prehistory.
