Upper Palaeolithic Rock-Art in Britain: Misunderstanding, myth or might be?
An evening lecture with Dr George Nash
In addition, and following several false-dawns, two rock-art sites have been identified that include Creswell Crags, along the Derbyshire-Nottinghamshire border (central England) and recently, the discovery of a cervid, probably a reindeer that was scratched onto a rock panel within Cat Hole Cave, South Wales. This lecture explores the possible cultural links between ice-drenched Britain and the temperate environments of Central and southern Europe where numerous rock-art traditions flourished.
