Deer and a bovidīs
back side |
|
J. Carballo,
great researcher of prehistoric documents, found the cave
of Cobrantes during one of his explorations on the zone
of the Aras Valley, South East of Santoņa. In the middle
60s, the Sautuola Seminar, leaded by M.A. García Guinea
made the documentation work of the parietal evidences. There are two areas of engravings, one close to
the entrance and the other one in a deeper zone of the
cavern. In Cobrantes as a whole, we find hinds. deer and a bovidīs back
side, , goat, and other
figures difficult to interpretate. There are black
dispersed traces documented in the entrance of the cave.
Althoug the used engraving is of an only trace, it is
worth to point out the grooving that appears in the
interior of the head of one of the hinds. The stylistic
characters that present the figures allow to locate the
group in the IV style.
