Resumo(s)
Junto con las cuevas de Maltravieso (Cáceres) y La Pasiega (Cantabria), la cueva de Ardales (Málaga) alberga pinturas de al menos 65.500 años de antigüedad, siendo estas las más antiguas encontradas hasta el momento. Recientemente, se ha publicado un estudio cuyo objetivo era determinar la naturaleza y origen del pigmento rojo que conforma uno de los paneles datados por uranio-torio, el panel II.A.3 de la Cueva de Ardales. Los resultados del estudio en cuestión, confirman que las marcas rojas son un pigmento a base de ocre aplicado intencionada y repetidamente a lo largo del Paleolítico medio. Asimismo, la comparación de estos residuos con las muestras geológicas recogidas en la cueva sugiere que el pigmento utilizado para la elaboración de las pinturas proviene de un afloramiento situado en el exterior de la cavidad. En la presente contribución, retomamos dicho estudio para hacer una síntesis de los resultados más relevantes y para explorar sus implicaciones en base a otros casos de uso simbólico de entornos subterráneos por parte de los neandertales.
The Ardales Cave (Málaga) contains, as in the case of the Maltravieso (Cáceres) and La Pasiega (Cantabria) caves, paintings that are at least 65,500 years old, the oldest ones found to date. A study published recently aimed at determining the nature and origin of the red pigment used for one of the panels dated by uranium-thorium, panel II.A.3 of Ardales Cave. The results of this study confirmed that the red marks are an ochre-based pigment applied intentionally and repeatedly throughout the Middle Palaeolithic. Furthermore, the comparison of these residues with the geological samples collected in the cave suggests that the pigment used for the elaboration of the paintings probably originates from an outcrop located outside the cavity. In the present contribution, we summarise the most relevant results of the mentioned study and explore their implications on the basis of other examples of the Neanderthals symbolic use of subterranean environments.
