Abstract

A new Levantine rock-art shelter, named Hoya de Navarejos III, recently found I the mountain range of Albarracín (Teruel) is presented. Because of its motifs and its special location in the inner part of a natural chamber associated with an external enclosure bounded by thrust vertical slabs. These elements mean that this rock-art group can be described as one of the most interesting and singular sites of the Iberian Peninsula. The Levantine classification of the motifs in relation to the aforementioned context invites us to rethink certain aspects about the definition of the Levantine rock-art itself, concerning both to stylistic and chrono-cultural affiliation issues.
