Comparative archaeology
Mar 11, 2006, 09:40
Absolutely, exactly the same ones as in Northumbria and found nowhere else in Iberia where rock art is completely different (or most other parts of mainland Europe). Only difference is that there are extra motives in some of the Galaican designs, like zoomorphic stuff (in the earlier) and humans/weapons (in the later).

Richard Bradley's comparative book called (I seem to remember) Rock Art is an excellent study and sums up well previous Galician studies on rock art.

I have also seen rock art literally underneath round houses or walls built by the-people-they-call-celts on one of the main hillforts.
