Abstract

Northwest Iberia was traditionally considered a territory that stayed aloof from the distribution of Palaeolithic art. This view has changed over the last three decades with the discovery of carved or painted images found in caves or in open-air sites, as well as a number of plaques and other portable items. Some of the evidence recovered show the existence of representations ascribed to late stages of the Palaeolithic, dating to the Allerød and the Preboreal periods. To increase our knowledge of that finipalaeolithic graphic episode in NW Iberia, a comparative and cross-border study has been carried out, based on the technical and morphological analysis of a representative group of images discovered in Cova Eirós and the Côa valley. The results point out to the existence of parallelisms between these representations, thus suggesting the existence of shared graphic conventions. Moreover, our analysis provides new data on the character and the main features of this late graphic stage and the relationship of these territories during the final stages of the Upper Palaeolithic.
