Abstract
The Coa petroglyphs, seen in the established framework of rock-art stu dies, belong in the corpus of west European parietal art of late Pleis tocene age, as found in scores of caves and some open-air locations, O ne of the four researchers who this summer studied the age of the figu res using 'modern rock-art science' summarizes the group's conclusions , and states how they kill off the stylistic dating of Palaeolithic ro ck-art.
