| Sumario: | [EN] In this communication, the discovery of the parietal ensemble of O Lomar (Fanlo, Huesca) is presented. It is a small outdoor assemblage of red paintings that belongs to the so-called ‘Levantine art’. A local resident discovered the site in 2014 and notifi ed the authors, who conducted the evaluation of the ensemble. The ensemble is composed of a single panel painted on a large block (about 4m high and 5m long) found on a grassy hill. The area surrounding the site is doted by similar boulders, which have been detached from the crest of the cliffs above the hill. The panel depicts several motifs painted in red; at least two zoomorphic and anthropomorphic fi gures were identifi ed. Despite its atypical location (outdoors, rather than in a rock shelter), the fi gures show evident characteristics hinting at an association of these depictions to the widely recognized “Levantine” art, further reference may be made to the specifi c ‘naturalistic animals’ phase from the Northern area of this artistic style (Baldellou 1985; Alonso Tejada & Grimal, 1994). During two short archaeological seasons, the team carried out a series of investigations, including the documentation of the parietal remains and the excavation of an archaeological test pit at the foot of the panel. In this communication the results of these works are described and the rock art evaluated. The discovery of this site opens new perspectives for the study of Levantine art. In addition to the peculiarity of being an ‘outdoor ensemble’, its location in the High Pyrenees, just a few kilometers from the watershed of the mountain range, at more than 1600m above sea level, makes it the highest and most northerly site attributed to the Levantine Art (VVAA, 2007), which indicates an extension of the known spread of this cultural phenomenon. |
