Abstract

We present a new petroglyph appeared in the area of Las Hurdes, that enlarges the number of findings with she same kind of art in this region. We show the renditions as well as a general study of the petroglyph compared to the rest known in the area. The known topics of starlike parrerns with five points, weapons and footprints is repeated here. But it introduces a novelty: it is the first time it has been found the patterns of footprins with lines carved inside and associated to the starlike patterns. Because of the analized motifs up to this point we consider it must belong to the same cultural horizont of the rest of the engravins in the area.
