About this episode

In this episode, Alan speaks with Dr. George Nash about Ice Age archaeology and rock art in South Wales. They explore the remarkable discoveries at Bacon Hole and Cat Hole, including a painted cave panel rediscovered after disappearing beneath calcite for decades, and a stylized reindeer engraving dated using uranium-thorium dating. They also examine Ice Age hunter-gatherer movement, the changing landscape of the Gower Coast, and how new technologies such as D-Stretch are revealing previously invisible traces of prehistoric art.TranscriptsFor a rough transcript head over to: https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/rockart/172LinksRediscovered Late Upper Palaeolithic Painted Imagery at Bacon Hole, Gower Peninsula, South WalesDr. George Nash ResearchD-Stretch - Rock Art Digital Enhancement ContactDr. Alan Garfinkelavram1952@yahoo.comDr. Alan Garfinkel’s WebsiteSupport Dr. Garfinkel on PatreonArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetAPN ShopAffiliates and SponsorsMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
