Prehistoric Rock Art of Atlantic Europe

The Ancients

About this episode

Dozens of incredible examples of prehistoric rock art have been found across western Europe in recent decades - but what do they mean?


Artworks can be discovered all along the Atlantic seaboard, from Spain to Scotland, where one stunning example was uncovered just last year. Ancient peoples left traces of their prehistoric cultures across the length and breadth of the landscape - but what does this art reveal about them?


In this episode Tristan is joined by Dr Joana Valdez-Tullett to discover more about the mysterious world of Atlantic rock art.
