Image analysis as a non-invasive research tool for rock art caves.

Authors: Rogerio Candelera, Miguel A.;

Image analysis as a non-invasive research tool for rock art caves.

Abstract

[ES]Una gran parte del arte rupestre ibérico, sobre todo del datado en el Pleistoceno, se localiza en cuevas. La especial fragilidad de los ambientes subterráneos determina que los métodos empleados para la documentación y estudio de los mecanismos de alteración de estos Bienes de Interés Cultural deban ser de naturaleza no invasiva. En las cuevas en particular, los métodos empleados para la documentación no sólo deben evitar el contacto con los paneles; además deben permitir eludir, en la medida de lo posible, las estancias prolongadas como modo de minimizar la afección que pueda representar la presencia de los investigadores en la cavidad a su frágil equilibrio microclimático. La aplicación de técnicas de análisis de imagen procedentes del campo de la teledetección espacial y de las ciencias biomédicas permite cumplir este doble objetivo, asegurando una documentación fidedigna, rápida y no invasiva tanto del Patrimonio Cultural que enriquece muchas cavidades españolas como de los elementos bióticos o abióticos que intervienen en el sistema natural en el que se encuadran estas manifestaciones parietales. En este trabajo se detalla la aplicación de estas técnicas en una cueva española (Altamira) para la detección, cuantificación y registro de cubiertas bióticas y abióticas que forman parte de este sistema natural, ofreciéndose ejemplos de los datos obtenidos, relevantes tanto desde el punto de vista de la investigación arqueológica como desde el punto de vista de la conservación.

[EN]A great percentage of Iberian rock art, mostly dated in the Pleistocene, is located in caves. The special fragility of subterranean environments determines the non-invasive nature of the methods employed for recording and studying the damaging mechanisms of these cultural assets. Particularly in caves the recording methods employed should avoid not only the contact with the panels, but also prolonged stays as a way for minimizing the possible impact of the presence of researchers on the fragile microclimatic equilibrium of the cavity. The application of image analysis techniques developed in remote sensing and biomedical research areas allows reaching this double goal, ensuring a faithful, fast, and non-invasive documentation both of the Cultural Heritage that enriches many Spanish caves and the biotic and abiotic elements which compose the natural system in which parietal art is included. In this paper, the implementation of these techniques in a Spanish cave (Altamira) for detection, quantification and recording of biotic and abiotic coverages integrated in this natural system is presented as well as some examples of the obtained data, relevant both for archaeological research and for conservation.

El trabajo realizado en Altamira se enmarca en el “Programa de investigación en Tecnologías para la Valoración y Conservación del Patrimonio” (CONSOLIDER CSD2007-00058).

14 páginas, 11 figuras, 17 referencias. Se agradecen a la dirección del Museo de Altamira las facilidades dadas para el estudio.
