Schematic Rock Art in Arroyo Barbaón (Monfragüe National Park, Cáceres): Archaeological contextualization and pigments characterization
Abstract Monfragüe National Park (Cáceres) 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 an advance of our last research campaigns conclusions carried out in the Arroyo Barbaón sector (Serradilla). 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 Cáceres province.
