The purpose of this study is to analyze the soliform figures in
schematic cave paintings. The author presents research on all the
global factors relevant to the study of these figures
(technological, typological, stylistic, semiotic, astronomical,
anthropological and landscape) and their relationship with the
whole of schematic rock paintings and the societies that produced
them. The geographical scope of the study is the area of Laguna de
la Janda and Campo de Gibraltar (Cadiz). One of the arguments the
author maintains in this research is the shortage of studies
conducted in the territory of Cadiz in relation to these figures
– and to rock art in general, which has been a central motif in
almost all primitive religions or mythologies since the birth of
agricultural societies. The recurrence of abstract motifs within
the rock art of this area, and its durability over time, could be
an indication of common cultural patterns among the different
populations that inhabited the province. But these same signs are
also repeated in different parts of the world – could it
therefore suggest universal aspects of our species? The
interpretation of these symbols has been – and continues to be
– subject to intangible or subjective issues; therefore, it is
not exempt from possible projections of our own culture. We think
that we are able to approach, in a scientific way, the ritual and
symbolic aspects of those who elaborated these paintings. In this
book, the author proposes an alternative according to the
theoretical framework of disciplines such as ethnography,
anthropology, landscape archaeology, archaeoastronomy and
semiotics.
