Tito Bustillo Cave

The Tito Bustillo Cave is a prehistoric rock shelter located in the small town of Ribadesella, in the autonomous community of Asturias, Spain.

Due to the collapse of the rock, the original entrance to the cave was sealed thousands of years ago, which made it possible for preservation of objects, tools and wall paintings that were discovered in 1968.

The oldest of these paintings shows human figures and is around 33,000 years old,[1] as determined by radiocarbon dating.

There is also a panel representing female genitalia and it is believed to have had the intention to invoke fertility.

The most important ones are some harpoons made of bone and a carved staghorn of a goat head.
