In the areas where this phenomenon is extensively studied (such as South and East Iberia), a chronological and cultural sequence has been established. This is due to the large number of rock art finds and the study of their archaeological context, which includes numerous portable art analogies. Based on this documentation, it has been proposed that its origins lie in the Early Neolithic and that it persisted until the Chalcolithic (c. 6th – 3rd millennium cal BC) or even, in some areas, until the Bronze Age. In this paper, we present the recent discovery of graphic motifs with similar characteristics in the Badanj II rock shelter. In the context of other finds in the Western and Central Mediterranean, this is an interesting indicator that leads us to suggest a connection between this graphic expression and the dispersion, establishment, and consolidation of Neolithic groups in Europe. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 0.2 2024 0.203 2024 History 2024 Q1 Archeology 2024 Q2 Archeology (arts and humanities) 2024 Q2 0.3 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Ruiz-Redondo, Aitor Vujnovic, Ante Vukosavljevic, Nikola 41, 2 (2024), 5-25 Prilozi Instituta za Arheologiju 1330-0644 3444210 http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/148647/files/texto_completo.pdf Versión publicada 334886 http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/148647/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon icon Versión publicada oai:zaguan.unizar.es:148647 articulos driver 2026-02-19-09:00:52 ARTICLE
