Social veiled conflcts in Levantine Rock Art (Spain) 2020 Based on new documentation carried out on some of the most important Levantine sites, it is possible to reinterpret some Levantine scenes and their social contexts. Using new perspectives, it is possible to point out a real social instability that is represented not only in war or fight scenes but also in some other veiled forced activities (i.e., massive movement of human groups, captures, etc.). In these scenes conflict is not just represented by the use of arms (bows, arrows, or boomerangs), but by some other kind of social violence scenes that make us to reconsider the social relationships among creators of Levantine rock art from its earliest phases. These scenes allow complex thematic levels that can be considered. Why did those people depict such veiled violence? Was violence normally depicted by Levantine groups? Or do depictions belong to some specific Levantine groups or stylistic phases? Were depictions an answer to a survival necessity? And, in that case, what was its motivation? A new interpretation about those robust or Centelles horizon social scenes is presented in this paper, focusing on anthropological, ecological and socio-economic approaches rather than religious or ritual ones. Such interpretation makes us to considerer the validity of our current ways of interpreting prehistoric rock art. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/H07 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/HAR2014-59042-P info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 2.13 2020 GEOGRAPHY, PHYSICAL 36 / 50 = 0.72 2020 Q3 T3 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 125 / 198 = 0.631 2020 Q3 T2 0.927 2020 Earth-Surface Processes 2020 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 3000 695 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
