LA CUEVA DE LOS LLANOS (ARNEDO, LA RIOJA)
Abstract
The localization and physical description of the cave is given. An analysis is made of its most relevant characteristics which, in our opinion, are four: significant graffiti in the entrance area; a curious and attention drawing architectonic structure in the interior of the cave; hollowed-out alveolus that we could call «nidus» (or pigeon holes), where the skulls could be placed, but with a significant particularity: these holes have also excavated a sort of beard ; graffiti representing heads in the spaces where one would expect to find alveolus. We came to the conclusion that, despite this first impression, this cave was never used as a «pigeon-loft» and that it presents definitive aspects of having been what we call a «columbarium».Downloads
