Abstract

In this paper we present four figures of the shelter of La Vacada, the stylistic characteristics and graphic conventions of which allow us to classify them as non- Levantine Rock Art. We suggest the possibility that these figures could belong to a proto-historic date with clear hellenistic-roman influence, emphasising the indigenous cultural and geographic context, which was as much celtiberian as Iberian.. We also analyse several decorated pottery fragments from Numancia and some iberian sites as parallels for the figures studied.
