Abstract

This paper presents the new results of the ongoing studies of La Griega Cave (Pedraza, Segovia, Spain). The investigations are focused in a methodological renewal of the analysis of rock art and formal analysis using statistical tools (Correspondence Factorial Analysis- CFA).The aim of this article is to discuss the results of correspondence factorial analysis focused particularly on the representation of hourses, for which a set of over 200 entities from the cavities (La Pasiega, Castillo, La Viña, Covalanas, Parpalló, Nerja, La Pileta…) and from outdoor sites in the Iberian Peninsula (Siega Verde and Foz Côa) have been analyzed. The results show that the formal characteristics of the Griega cave horses are very homogeneous and share also Cantabrian and Mediterranean characteristics. These data highlight the links between the segovian cave and the equine formal concepts represented in solutreo-Gravettian levels of the cave Parpalló allowing hypothesize the connections between the peninsular interior and the Mediterranean area during this period.
