AB The Ardales Cave is located in a mountain area near thevillage of Ardales about 50 km North of Malaga. It wasHenri 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 252panels have been described. They probably representthree chronological phases from the Gravettian, the Solutrean and the Magdalenian. Apart from the rock art animportant number of non-pictorial artefacts have beenconserved. These are stone and bone tools placed nearthe panels, paste of red and yellow pigment, stone containers used as pigment palettes and stone lamps usedfor artifical lightning. The talk will present latest results ofthe spatial distribution of the non-pictorial artefacts andtheir possible relation to human movement in the caveand to the position of the rock art panels.
