Dos rodetes paleolíticos procedentes de las cuevas del Linar y Las Aguas, Alfoz de Lloredo (Cantabria)

Abstract

This work presents two decorated bone discs coming from the archaeological excavations carried out by the Museum of Altamira in the cavities of El Linar (La Busta, Alfoz de Lloredo) and Las Aguas (Novales, Alfoz de Lloredo), both in Cantabria, Spain. They are two unusual objects in the cantabrian portable art which come to join those already known from La Viña and Llonin, in Asturias. They are very singular pieces due to their technical and artistic quality and go beyond the local scope to talk about a social and culturally interconnected world during the Magdalenian period.
