Vilafranca (Els Ports, Castell\u00f3)<\/p>\n
Covatina del Tossalet del Mas de Rambla; Abric del Barranc de Les Carabasses.<\/p>\n
2011-2013, 2015<\/p>\n
The La Covatina site was discovered in 1971 by the school teacher Salvador G\u00f3mez Bellot, who publicised it as the “Covatica del Gran P\u00e1jaro\u201d (Little Cave of the Large Bird) a name referring to one of the figures, which reminded him of an ostrich. This interpretation has been maintained for years, recurrently describing this figure as a bird of prey and even integrating it into a hunting scene. Today we know that it is a partially preserved female figure.<\/p>\n
La Covatina is on the left bank of Les Carabasses ravine. It consists of twin shelters, about 31 m long, 4 m deep and 4.8 m high. The left-hand rock shelter is divided into two cavities and all the Levantine motifs identified to date are concentrated in these. In neither of these two cavities has any evidence of human occupation, apart from the paintings, been found, as is also the case for most of the Levantine groups.<\/p>\n
More than 30 figures are preserved in La Covatina, including archers, other human figures (including two women) and perhaps the remains of an animal. These include the female figure traditionally interpreted as a bird, and a running archer on which details such as the musculature of the legs, the bow and arrows, a peculiar hairstyle (or headdress), and even details of his clothing, can be seen.<\/p>\n
