Spanish to English: LAS MANIFESTACIONES DE ARTE RUPESTRE ESQUEMÁTICO DEL VALLE AMBLÉS EN SU CONTEXTO PROVINCIAL General field: Other Detailed field: Archaeology
Source text - Spanish La investigación sobre el papel de ciertas manifestaciones artísticas rupestres en el proceso de neolitización tiene una larga trayectoria en determinadas regiones de la Península Ibérica, fundamentalmente en la fachada mediterránea por ser allí donde se concitan tres de las principales expresiones gráficas pospaleolíticas. No obstante, también en los territorios del interior peninsular se ha atribuido a los primeros grupos productores la ejecución de ciertas pinturas y grabados rupestres. Estas propuestas han surgido como resultado del análisis del Arte Rupestre desde la perspectiva de la Arqueología del Paisaje, de manera que entre las estrategias de apropiación del espacio de grupos itinerantes con objeto de establecer su control sobre determinados recursos críticos, los marcadores gráficos habrían funcionado como dispositivos simbólicos.
Por lo que respecta al Arte Esquemático, superadas las reticencias sobre su antigüedad debido a los indudables paralelos de algunos motivos sobre roca con piezas muebles del Calcolítico, ya no se albergan dudas sobre su adscripción –o al menos la de las fases iniciales de su ciclo de representación– al Neolítico Antiguo, tanto en las regiones mediterráneas de la Península como en el ámbito espacial del Neolítico Interior. De este modo, en la actualidad se tiende a diferenciar dos horizontes: el Arte Esquemático Antiguo, que correspondería al Neolítico, y el Evolucionado, que se desarrollaría en la Edad de los Metales para perdurar, incluso, en la Edad del Hierro. La interpretación más extendida sobre la finalidad de pinturas y grabados esquemáticos nuevamente vuelve a incidir en su carácter de marcadores simbólicos en las estrategias de apropiación espacial.
Translation - English Research into the role of rock art in the neolithisation process has a long history in specific regions of the Iberian Peninsula and, in particular, in the area of the Mediterranean, where three of the main post-palaeolithic art forms can be found. Yet also in the interior of the Peninsula several examples of rock art and engravings have been attributed to the first producer groups. Such proposals have been the result of an analysis of rock art from the perspective of landscape archaeology, whereby the land appropriation strategies of itinerant groups to establish control of certain critical resources also included painted markers which would have had a symbolic function.
As regards schematic art, the reservations concerning its antiquity have disappeared due to the undeniable parallels of certain motifs on rock with moveable pieces from the chalcolithic. There is now no doubt that this can be ascribed – at least in terms of the initial phases – to the early neolithic in both the Mediterranean regions of the Peninsula and that of the regional early neolithic. Consequently, two perspectives are usually distinguished nowadays: ancient schematic art, which corresponds to the neolithic, and evolved art, developing in the Metal Age and continuing up to the Iron Age. The most widespread interpretation as to the purpose of schematic paintings and engravings is once again that of symbolic markers in land appropriation strategies.
