Arte rupestre paleolítico en el yacimiento solutrense de La Cueva de Ambrosio (Vélez-Blanco, Almeria)

In the solutrean site o[ La Cueva de Ambrosio several engraved and painted figures dated on the Upper palaeolithic, have been found during the field works of[ 1992 and 1994. In the panel I we have identified an excellent representation of a horse, a bird, one bovidae and another protome of a horse. Below this surface there are many red ochre wallpaintings covered by a calcitic path and for the time being we are unable to give any interpretation for it. In the second panel we have discovered one splendid red painted horse, two more engraved horses and a little head of one other black painted horse. There are many engraved lines and pictural rests that must be studied in the future. The exceptionality of this discovery is that we can interrelate perfectly these rock art paintings with the archaeological levels clearly defined chronologically and culturally (ca. 16000 B.P., Upper Solutrean and Final Solutrean) from the same site.
