%X The Ardales Cave is located in a mountain area near the
village of Ardales about 50 km North of Malaga. It was
Henri Breuil who recognized first its rock art in 1918. Ardales cave is outstanding in Southern Spain for its numerous examples of paintings and engravings from the Upper Palaeolithic. To date 1010 pictorial artefacts from 252
panels have been described. They probably represent
three chronological phases from the Gravettian, the Solutrean and the Magdalenian. Apart from the rock art an
important number of non-pictorial artefacts have been
conserved. These are stone and bone tools placed near
the panels, paste of red and yellow pigment, stone containers used as pigment palettes and stone lamps used
for artifical lightning. The talk will present latest results of
the spatial distribution of the non-pictorial artefacts and
their possible relation to human movement in the cave
and to the position of the rock art panels.
