Zusammenfassung
Figurines were particularly abundant and diverse in Iberia during the Neolithic and above all in the Chalcolithic. They have traditionally been studied in terms of their format, the territory they are found in and the culture they belonged to. However, one of the main characteristics of the figurines is that they form part of the wide range of graphic expressions known in Iberian late prehistory, found in rock-shelters, on rocks and in megalithic monuments. This reality, which is usually documented partially, locally or regionally, is here presented cartographically. While aware of the difficulty in obtaining an exhaustive record, the picture obtained helps to understand the dispersion and typology of the figurines in the framework of post-glacial Iberian art. It is based on general inventories and partial repertoires, some of them published in the present volume, supported by information and communication technologies.
