... Such marks are quite common in portable art in northern Iberia (Barandiarán, 1972;Corchón, 1986), where they are limited to the Solutrean and Upper Magdalenian (La Riera, Cueto de la Mina). Parallels of this type of motif can be found in older chronologies, mainly in the Aurignacian, at such European sites as Gorges-d'Enfer (Chollot, 1962), Abri Blanchard (Bourrillon et al., 2018;White, 1992), La Souquette (O'Hara et al., 2015) (France) and Vogelherd (Conard et al., 2003). ...
A decorated ulna of a gannet (Morus bassanus) was found in 1966 during the exploration of the archaeological site of Torre cave (Gipuzkoa, northern Iberian Peninsula). The present study offers a new appraisal of this truly outstanding art object through a technological and stylistic analysis enriched by more recent finds. What makes this object extraordinary is the fact that it is one of the most complete specimens in the Iberian Peninsula. Moreover, the Torre tube is one of the few remains with peri-cylindrical decoration displaying a complex combination of motifs. It is profusely decorated with figurative representations (deer, horse, ibex, chamois, aurochs and an anthropomorph) and signs (single lines, parallel lines, zigzags, etc.) in two rows in opposite directions. The tube resembles objects from other Magdalenian sites in Cantabrian Spain and the Pyrenees, which corroborate the exchange of technical and iconographic behaviour.
