Abstract: In Penascosa and Quinta da Barca, among the rocks with Palaeolithic engravings it is possible to recognise those with a Gravettian-Solutrean chronology and those dated from the Magdalenian period. Based on the differences between these two groups in terms of location and techniques employed, we discuss the ways they could be “used” in its original context. Furthermore, we shall discuss the ways in which access to and experience of rock art during the two periods mentioned, was socially relevant. Key-words: Gravettian; Solutrean; Magdalenian; rock art; scenographies
