I second that interest.
Is there a general assumption that zoomorphic carvings were created later than abstract motifs. 'cos that's not the case with cave painting. But then Pebs is right that saying those carvings are deer is pushing the definition of deer to a fairly abstract degree. They may be carvings of goats and the hill should really be called deerscrag.
