Abstract
Tajo de las Abejeras (Castellar de la Frontera, Cádiz) is a natural promontory located in the geo-historic region of Strait of Gibraltar. The site is well known by the prehistoric bibliography of the Campo de Gibraltar since the second decade of the 20th century. During 2014 Simón Blanco discovered new hand stencils. Since then, various studies have been conducted under the direction of Hipólito Collado, Diego Fernández and José Ramos in collaboration with several institutions. Within the framework of this collaboration, it has been possible to document new sites in the Tajo de las Abejeras both Paleolithic and Pospaleolithic. We highlight the documentation in the Cueva de las Estrellas of a wide repertoire represented by points, zigzags, lines, horses and hand stencils that suggest ancient chronologies of the Palaeolithic. With this paper we wish to publicise the activities, authorised by the Junta de Andalucía, carried out in Abejeras as well as to reflect about the broad prospects for the future and the problems still presented by the prehistoric rock art of the south of the peninsula.
