The Warrior Stelae and the Anthropomorph Stele of Pedra Alta (Castrelo do Val, Galicia)
Abstract
The aim of this article is to describe a stela discovered in the municipality of Castrelo do Val (Ourense) and realises a first analysis on its iconography, style and chronology. This stele presents a series of carvings with very similar to those found in warrior stelae of the southwest of Iberia, and a series of recesses that confer to the stone an antropomorphic appearance. The paper proposes the existence of three possible subsequent moments of use for this monument; the oldest one with Atlantic rock art, the second one with a warrior stele iconography and the third one when the recesses were made.
