Title: Right hand area of the lower shelter of Cova Centelles, real color.
Technique: Polarised photography
Description:
There are a large number of Levantine style figures in this area of the shelter, but they are seriously weathered. It is specially relevant the large number of women of this panel and their attitudes. At least one of them, maybe two, seems to be giving birth, or to be in postures connected to child birthing. Other woman seems to be caring for a lifeless man, who maybe is dead. Another one is carrying a burden on her head; her breasts are evident and she is wearing some kind of broad trousers. In this area there are as well some male figures, some of them archers. It is remarkable the use of dots of white paint over many red figures.

This asset of pictographs is located in the upper frieze of the site, around 4 m high, in an area deeply affected by flowstone that hide many of this paintings. There are around 50 Levantine style pictographs here, most of them taking part in a complex narrative scene that have been interpreted as the moving of the campsite.

Around women are placed the archers protecting them against any threat. In fact, there are a pair of archers firing their bows in the lower part of the scene. Finally, there are some animal depictions, like a bovid and a possible deer.
