New 3D method maps Paleolithic engravings at submillimeter resolution

A team of archaeologists from the Universitat Jaume I, the University of Barcelona, and the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA) has developed a new methodology that allows for a much more detailed, precise, and objective analysis of Late Paleolithic portable art pieces. Thanks to this study, the research team was able to review several previously published pieces from Matutano Cave (Vilafamés), a reference site in the I…

New 3D method maps Paleolithic engravings at Cova Matutano

Researchers from Universitat Jaume I, the University of Barcelona, and ICREA tested a digital method to study very fine engravings on Late Paleolithic portable art. Their work focused on three objects from Cova Matutano in eastern Spain. Archaeologists often use material from this site as a reference for comparing other Final Paleolithic images across the […]
