A team of researchers from the University of Seville has managed to capture a three-dimensional image of La Pileta Cave (Benaoján, Malaga), a National Monument since 1924 and a European reference in cave art. Its importance lies in the fact that this cave preserves several thousand graphic motifs from the Upper Paleolithic to the Bronze Age.
These include animal figures, symbols and silhouettes of humans. In addition, La Pileta preserves an archaeological sequence spanning more than 100 millennia and unique finds such as a lamp with traces of pigment from the Gravettian period, considered one of the oldest lighting devices on the Iberian Peninsula.
