Some considerations about the Protohistoric Rock Art in the Iberian Peninsula and recent findings in the eastern Mediterranean
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: This article is divided in three parts: 1 – Rock art from the Hillfort’s Culture, with examples found in the interior of settlements; 2 – Filiform and “polissoir” rock art from Portugal, mentioning the main regions where this kind of art appears; 3 – A new emerging paradigm in protohistoric rock art: the North-East of Greece. Despite this region being far from the Iberian Peninsula, the work carried out at Philippi since 2005 by a Greek-Italian-Portuguese team contributed with important elements for a better understanding of the Protohistoric societies from the South of Europe, through the figures carved on the rocks.
