El grafismo rupestre paleolítico de la cueva de El Mirón (Ramales de la Victoria, Cantabria, España): una propuesta para su datación estratigráfica

Abstract: Este artículo describe el arte parietal descubierto en la Cueva de El Mirón (Cantabria, España) en el curso de las excavaciones dirigidas en el yacimiento por MGM y LGS desde 1996. El arte consiste en grabados, la mayoría de ellos aparentemente no fi gurativos en su estado actual, pero hay una imagen de un caballo y otra de un posible bisonte. Todos los grabados se localizan en el fondo del gran vestíbulo, a plena luz, en íntima relación con los depósitos de origen humano. El caballo y los grabados lineales as… Show more

“…Levels 127-121, dated between 19.2-18.4 uncal kya, contain Solutrean point fragments (in some cases relatively many-up to 9 in Level 126) and perforated shells (and a perforated red deer canine), but few other retouched tools (21-53) and limited amounts of debris (451-3106). The relatively few ungulate remains in the Solutrean levels are dominated by red deer and ibex, with some chamois (Straus et al 2012). A plausible interpretation is that the cave was repeatedly used as a short-term camp by hunters who went up to the edge of the Cantabrian Cordillera in spring and/or summer during the Last Glacial Maximum (a time when the summits were glaciated), presumably from as yet unknown base camps in the lower Asón valley (possibly on the now-inundated continental shelf ).…”

“…a few ungulate (including ibex) teeth and bones (at least one cutmarked), and at least one limpet shell, three large chunks of ochre and a possibly worked quartz crystal were deliberately brought deep within the cave for activities unknown. To date, no evidence of rock art has been found on the inner cave walls, although engravings (estimated based on height about the then-ground surface or stratigraphically proven to be of Lower Magdalenian age) are present at the rear of the sunlit vestibule (Garcia Diéz et al 2012;González Morales & Straus 2015).…”

“…To date, the simultaneous presence of these two different types of engravings has only been documented at La Viña, so it must be considered a unicum González-Pumariega Solís et al, 2017a, b. Another uncommon feature is that the engravings were partially covered by the Palaeolithic archaeological layers, an occurrence which is rarely observed (e.g., in Iberian peninsula Beltrán Martínez, 2002;Villaverde Bonilla, 2005;Fortea and Rasilla, 2000;Rasilla Vives et al, 2010;García Díez et al, 2012;Ripoll López et al, 2012;Aubry et al, 2014). Information retrieved from the archaeological and stratigraphic contexts and the calculations for the manual range indicate that the termini ante quem for the Second Graphical Horizon is the Middle Magdalenian and the termini a quo are Gravettian and Solutrean periods.…”
