Nouveaux regards sur la Grotte de La Peña (San Román de Candamo, Asturies, Espagne)

This article presents the first results of the interdisciplinary study of the Palaeolithic art of La Peña Cave (San Román de Candamo) recently declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The systematic exploration of the cave and the application of new technologies for documenting Palaeolithic graphs have allowed us to locate new heretofore unknown sets and to extend the number of known decorated topographic units. The making of a new topographical survey allows us to locate the previously known catalogue (figurative representations and signs) precisely as well as the new findings of paintings and engravings. In parallel to this, the use of different geotechnologies has allowed us to obtain digital models of the original structure of the La Peña Cave of San Román de Candamo (Spain), and also to obtain orthophotos that faithfully reflect the cave's dimensional and textural characteristics for subsequent technical study by a team of prehistorians.
