Arroyo de las Almas (La Fregeneda, Salamanca): un nuevo conjunto con arte rupestre en la cuenca del Duero

Abstract

The open-air rock art site of Arroyo de las Almas, in the municipality of La Fregeneda (Salamanca), was discovered by the authors of this text in September 2015. The survey and documentation work carried out in the months following the first discoveries, with the aim of getting to know the site in a precise manner, led us to new and relevant artistic evidences, both Palaeolithic and Postpalaeolithic. As a result of these archaeological works, four different engraved settings have been distinguished in the site, located in the stream and in several of its main tributaries, with 24 schist rocks decorated with approximately 600 engraved motifs. The aim of the present text is to provide a detailed description of the geomorphological and landscape environment of this new ensemble, along with a first and general introduction of its graphic repertoire for each of the four cultural and chronological registered periods: Upper Palaeolithic, Late Prehistory, Iron Age and Modern Age.
