A management plan and monitoring system is in place. A dedicated manager has been appointed to oversee the property. The property is administrated by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Housing Baden-Württemberg (formerly Ministry of Finance and Economics) and other branches of state, regional and municipal governments. The Cultural Heritage Protection Act of Baden-Württemberg (1972) is the main legal enforcement to ensure the protection of the property. Several caves have unexcavated deposits, and there are other caves within the property that have not yet been investigated, providing the basis for future research. The archaeological evidence gained from these excavations underpins the authenticity of the property. Systematic archaeological research has been undertaken at these sites for more than a century and documentation is ongoing. The authenticity of the property is supported by the presence of stratified geological deposits in the caves that have served to protect the archaeological layers until their excavation and the surrounding landforms that contain the caves. The property includes sufficient consideration of the setting of the caves in relation to the topography and vegetation of the Lone and Ach valleys, including the limestone cliffs, valley floors and adjacent uplands. All the elements necessary to express the values of the property are included in the property boundaries. The property includes all six caves in the region that have had excavations of significant Aurignacian deposits, including the four caves containing figurative art objects and musical instruments and their landscape setting. The art objects are among the oldest yet to be found in the world and the musical instruments are the oldest that have been found to date worldwide. Exceptional aspects of this culture that have been preserved in these caves are examples of carved figurines, objects of personal adornment and musical instruments. ![]() The long and highly productive tradition of research at these sites has had a significant influence on the understanding of the Upper Palaeolithic in Europe.Ĭriterion (iii): Caves and Ice Age Art in the Swabian Jura provides an exceptional testimony to the culture of the first modern humans to settle in Europe. Together with the artefacts and the surrounding landscape, they form an outstanding early cultural ensemble that helps to illuminate the origins of human artistic development. Other figurines depict creatures that are half animal, half human and there is one statuette of a woman.Ĭaves and Ice Age Art in the Swabian Jura represents a unique concentration of archaeological sites with some of the oldest figurative art and the oldest musical instruments yet to be found worldwide. The figurines depict species of animals who lived in that ice age environment – cave lions, mammoths, birds, horses, bovids and fish. Among the items found at these sites are carved figurines, musical instruments and items of personal adornment. The focus of this property are the caves with Aurignacian layers, which date from 43,000 to 33,000 years ago. Excavated from the 1860s up to the present day, these six caves have revealed a long record of human presence, including both anatomically modern humans and Neanderthals before that. Here, ancient peoples lived in and among a series of caves which are now archaeological sites. One of the areas where they took up residence was the Swabian Jura in southern Germany. Modern humans first arrived in Europe 43,000 years ago during the last ice age. Estos vestigios arqueológicos atestiguan la existencia de uno de los artes figurativos más antiguos del mundo y contribuyen a esclarecer nuestros conocimientos sobre los orígenes del espíritu creador del ser humano en el ámbito del arte.ĭescription is available under license CC-BY-SA IGO 3.0 En este sitio se han hallado, entre otros, los siguientes objetos: una estatuilla femenina figuritas esculpidas de animales (leones cavernarios, mamuts, caballos, bovinos, etc.) y de criaturas fantásticas, mitad humanas mitad animales instrumentos musicales y objetos de adorno. Las excavaciones arqueológicas efectuadas en seis grutas desde el decenio de 1860 han permitido descubrir huellas de su presencia, cuya antigüedad se remonta a unos 33.000 a 43.000 años atrás. ![]() El Jura suabo, situado al sur de Alemania, fue uno de los lugares donde se asentaron.
