Abstract

This paper reports the discovery of a schist slab with 7 zoomorphic figures (deer, wild goats and/or bulls) and other engraved remains at Coves del Fem site (Ulldemolins, Priorat, Tarragona) in 2020. This find adds to the limited, although unique, repertoire of portable art of Palaeolithic style found so far in the northeastern part of the Iberian Peninsula. A detailed analysis of this piece and comparison with the artistic record known so far for the Mediterranean side of Iberia are key to establish the relative chronology of this find. The themes (a combination of animals and non-figurative motifs), the formal (simplified representations of animals with elongated bodies), technical (a schist slab with fine incised engravings filled with striated strokes) and compositional patterns of the motifs, with a complex palimpsest of figurative and non-figurative engravings distributed on both sides creating two non-scenic compositions, recall an art from the end of the Paleolithic artistic cycle. To these common elements, this slab adds certain singularities. First, two animals of different species are involved in a mirror symmetry composition,which is not unique to this site, but it is more common in older periods and with the animals distributed on both sides of a vertical axis, rather than horizontal, as in this case. Such distribution has no parallels in this final phase of the artistic sequence. Second, the microscopic analysis of the art reveals the preservation of red pigment inside the engraved grooves, showing the use of a mixed technique, involving a combination of incision and painting. This practice, used probably to enhance motifs and improve visualization, has been recorded in a limited number of Palaeolithic sites, most likely due to conservation problems. Third, the slab includes the first example of an engraved goat known in the Catalan repertoire. Overall, this find contributes to expand the repertoire of Catalan Paleolithic art, confirms the importance of the Tarragona province, concentrating most of the finds of Paleolithic portable art in Catalonia, and opens new perspectives in the study of Coves del Fem, substantially expanding the chronology of this site until the end of the Upper Paleolithic period. Finally, it brings a new example with its own peculiarities (the type of composition) for characterizing the art of the Pleistocene/Holocene transition in south-western Europe.
半岛东北部旧石器时代风格家具艺术的新发现:les Coves del Fem (Ulldemolins,塔拉戈纳)的雕刻牌匾
本文报道了2020年在Coves del Fem遗址(ulldemoins, Priorat, Tarragona)发现了一块刻有7个兽形人物(鹿、野生山羊和/或公牛)和其他雕刻遗迹的片岩板。这一发现为迄今为止在伊比利亚半岛东北部发现的有限但独特的旧石器时代风格的便携式艺术品增添了新的内容。对这件作品进行详细分析,并与迄今为止已知的伊比利亚地中海一侧的艺术记录进行比较,是确定这一发现的相对年代的关键。主题(动物和非具象图案的结合),形式(动物细长身体的简化表现),技术(带有精细雕刻的片岩板,充满条纹笔画)和图案的构图模式,以及分布在两侧的复杂的具象和非具象雕刻,创造了两种非风景构图,让人想起旧石器时代艺术周期末期的一种艺术。除了这些共同的元素,这块板还增加了一些奇异之处。首先,两种不同物种的动物在一个镜像对称的组合中,这并不是这个遗址所独有的,但在更古老的时期更常见,而且动物分布在垂直轴的两侧,而不是像这次这样的水平方向。这种分布在艺术序列的最后阶段没有相似之处。其次,对艺术品的显微分析显示,雕刻槽内保留了红色颜料,表明使用了混合技术,包括切口和绘画的结合。这种做法可能是为了增强图案和提高视觉效果,在有限的旧石器时代遗址中被记录下来,很可能是由于保护问题。第三,这块石板包括加泰罗尼亚人已知的第一个雕刻山羊的例子。总的来说,这一发现有助于扩大加泰罗尼亚旧石器时代艺术的收藏范围,证实了塔拉戈纳省的重要性,集中了加泰罗尼亚大多数旧石器时代便携式艺术的发现,并为研究Coves del Fem开辟了新的视角,大大扩展了该遗址的年代学,直到旧石器时代晚期结束。最后,它带来了一个具有自己特点的新例子(构图类型),用于表征欧洲西南部更新世/全新世过渡时期的艺术。
