Cave paintings and engravings dating to at least 24,000 years ago were discovered near Valencia in Spain.
Archaeologists have discovered more than 110 prehistoric cave paintings and engravings dating to at least 24,000 years ago near Valencia, Spain.
Locals and hikers have long known about Cova Dones , a 1,640-foot-long cave in the municipality of Millares. Although Iron Age finds were known from the cave, the Paleolithic artwork wasn't documented until researchers discovered it in 2021. "When we saw the first painted auroch[s], we immediately acknowledged it was important," Aitor Ruiz-Redondo, a senior lecturer of prehistory at the University of Zaragoza in Spain and a research affiliate at the University of Southampton in the U.K., said in the statement.
In the new study, the researchers documented at least 19 depictions of animals, including horses, hinds , aurochs and a stag. The other art includes signs like rectangles, isolated lines and"macaroni" shallow-groove lines made by dragging fingers or tools across a soft surface. Many of the motifs were made using red, iron-rich clay — a technique rarely seen in Paleolithic art, the researchers said.
