Abstract
We present a new research project, aimed at the discovery of rock art in the Águeda River, where two sites with open-air Paleolithic engravings are known: Siega Verde (Serranillo, Salamanca) and Redor do Porco (Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, Guarda, Portugal ). Although it started very recently, the preliminary results are promising, with the discovery of two new sites: one in Rivera de Sexmiro (Sexmiro, Salamanca), a rock shelter with engravings of an abstract character, whose chronology can range from the Iron Age to the Middle Ages, and another in the Arroyo de las Almas (La Fregeneda, Salamanca). In the latter, several engraved rocks were discovered, within a broad chronological spectrum, from the Upper Paleolithic to the present.
