Hello guys! 👋Our third day at the Cueva de Chufín has been very productive! 💪🏽
In parallel to the excavation of the site, part of the team has been developing a surface survey of the interior of the cavity, …but what does this work consist of ⁉️⁉️

When we are in a cave with parietal art, we must consider the possible remains that prehistoric artists and visitors left behind. They provide us with data about the chronology, the caving progression, the lighting systems, the artistic operative chain, etc. 🔥👣🧐
The study of this Internal Archaeological Context has its own methodology that goes through a meticulous and methodical examination of the underground surfaces, such as the walls and the floor.📝👀
Normally, the set of anthropic remains found in decorated caves is usually small, since it can respond to momentary incursions. However, in the study that is being carried out in the Cueva de Chufín this pattern is not fulfilled, at the moment there are 200 documented remains!
As we can see, it is not only important to observe the walls with art, but we have to be very attentive to the ground, not only because of the very important information that these remains offer but also because it is an extremely exposed and fragile heritage.❕❗️
See you tomorrow with more news! 💪🏽👋
