Yesterday we presented a very interesting discovery made in a cave where we are working now... #Alkerdi2 in #UrdazubiUrdax... let's start this thread!!👇😉
Last summer we received an email from @rturoTroska, from the caving group #Satorrak, working within a project coordinated from @aranzadi in the exploration of the Alkerdi/Berroberria massif. They discovered a new passage with engravings and paintings.. the access was not easy👇❗️
⁉️The new passage contains (at least) 3 engraved bison, 3 aurochs, 2 horses and 2 undefined animals, as well as 5 groups of paired strokes in red.
👇📸But it starts with engraved 4 vulvas, so it was called #Aluengalería (vulva in basque) by its discoverers.

📖This new set was added to the motifs found in 2016. The appearance of these engravings and paintings, as well as the archaeological remains that covered the floors (pieces of flint, burned bones, coals, etc.) stopped a quarry that threatened the cave.

🔬The cave of alkerdi 2 contains figures with stylistic characteristics of the continental #Gravettian.
🤔💭The archaeological remains found inside seem to correspond to ancient times from the Upper Palaeolithic, and are added to the remains Berroberria and Alkerdi 1 caves.

This last also contains rock art figures, but from an later period (#Magdalenian) 👇😉
➡️It seems that the inhabitants who drew Alkerdi 2 lived in Alkerdi 1, and that those who drew this last cave lived in Berroberria.🥴
