La Sarga (Alcoi, Alicante, Spain). New images, new interpretations
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
We present an important assembly of rock art recovered after the cleaning of the wall of a small cave in the Abric II of La Sarga (Alcoi, Alicante, Spain).
They are included in the Levantine Art. Among the identifying motives, we emphasized the representation of a tree, the diversity of human figures that are
integrated in scenes of extraordinary interest and various goats that by their size and anatomical characteristics seem to constitute a flock.
Keywords: Alcoi. Alicante, Spain. Rock Art. Levantine Art. Iconography. Neolithic.
