Honey Hunting at the Araña Caves
The Man, or Woman, of Bicorp, is a figure found in the largest of the caves (cave 2). Presumed to be Epipalaeolithic, it depicts a person holding a rope, ladder or lianas, while gathering honey from a wild beehive with a basket on their back. It is a strikingly beautiful representation of honey hunting , showing the figure introducing their arm inside the hive, with bees flying around them.
Experts believe that this shows that wild honey collection must have occurred in the area around the caves around 8,000 years ago. Honey harvesting was a rich source of nutrients in prehistoric times. This is probably why, along with hunting and other ceremonial activities, it was memorialized on the walls of the Spanish cave .
DAVE FOPAY
ARCOLA â James Aikman stood next to a colossal bear, a depiction of a huge beast that hasn t walked the Earth for more than 10,000 years. Most people have no clue they got this big, he said of the creature known as Arctodus.
The model of the bear appears alongside one called Chalicotherium, what Aikman described as a gorilla-type horse with claws. And also nearby is the gem of the collection, a 12-foot-tall dinosaur predator known as Carnotaurus.
The life-sized, realistic depictions of the ancient animals add to the wow factor by going beyond what people typically think of as prehistoric creatures, Aikman said. Dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers and wooly mammoths come to mind but that s where it stops, he said.
