Puy Jarrige II cave is located in the commune of Brive, in "Les Rebières". More precisely, it is located in a Triassic sandstone, on the right side of the Courolle valley, near the Corrèze river. There is a cave called Puy Jarrige I, but it has only archaeological deposits. 
⁉️Pal. rock art is especially preserved in the karstic regions of Western Europe. To the East, rock art becomes more unusual. In fact, until 2010 there was not any remaining of this kind in the Balkans. Fortunately, things are changing thanks to the hard work of archaeologists. 
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👇❗️
Today we are going to visit a well-known cave for its great animal representations, especially the spotted horses, but what about the humans? 
➡️Specifically, these days we have carried out an Experimental Archeology work that will help us to characterize the combustion residues of the Paleolithic lamp located in the #Atxurra cave, as well as to know its thermo-dynamic operation and the type of lighting. 
⁉️Covaciella cave is located in the far east of Asturias, on Las Pandas mountain. It is located in a rugged environment, near the Casaño river. This site has a single level where Palaeolithic representations and archaeological deposits are distributed throughout it. 
⁉️This Friday, 24th sept., the 9th edition of #EuropeanResearchersNight2021 will be held, and numerous amazing activities have been scheduled from the @UCDivulga and @IIIPC_Cantabria. 
⁉️The site is located on the banks of the Tormes River, in the municipality of Salamanca (Spain). It consists of several rocky outcrops of slate. It was discovered in 2013 by A. Hernández Morán and M. Pantrigo. 👇😉 
We refer to the Cueva de Navarro, located in the province of Malaga (Andalusia, Spain), in the extreme south of Europe.
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. 🔥👣🧐
⁉️Chufin cave, also known as the cave of Moro Chufín, is located on a cliff above the reservoir of La Palombera, at the confluence of the rivers Lamasón and Nansa, in Cantabria. It was discovered in 1972 by Manuel de Cos Borbolla and the reservoir guard Primo González. ⚓️ 
⁉️ The cave is made up of a rectilinear passage with a total development of 70 m, where the wall art only takes up 50 m. It is made up of more than 340 figures, including zoomorphs, ideomorphs and various marks. 
This pioneer #14CAMSdating was carried out on a sample of pigment from a black punctuation of this wall👆⚫️. The analysis was executed by H. Valladas, H. Cachier and M. Arnol of #CNRS (Laboratory Gif-sur-Yvette). RESULT: 14290 +-180 BP 
🗺️Cualventi Cave is located in the district of Perelada (Oreña, Alfoz de Lloredo, Cantabria), 2 km from Altamira. The cave opens in the wall of a wide and shallow doline, inside a small valley close to the coast. 
➡️We refer to the Cueva de la Lluera I, a small cave located a few meters from the Nalón River (Asturias, Spain) and which was scientifically discovered in 1979 and first studied by Professor Javier Fortea. 
⁉️This is a really small cave (with least than 30 meters of development), currently accessed through a small hole in #Ertxiña mountain. 
➡️⁉️The Carranza River is a short river that rises in Karrantza (Bizkaia) and connects with the Asón River in Ramales de la Victoria (Cantabria). The Carranza gorge is the only way out of the valley and is characterized by an abrupt karstic orography plenty of caves and shelters.
