Resumen
Aouinet Azguer 1 is one of the most representative painting rock shelters in Morocco due to the quantity and characteristics of the images on display, which were carried out over an extended time lapse. In Aouinet Azguer 1 and 12, we find some zoomorphous figures outlined in red whose composition, size, style and technique bear no relation to the rest of the motifs. These figures correspond to an early chronocultural first phase, they were painted choosing privileged or central positions and in most cases we are not able to identify them since, even if by their volumetric shape the images seem to follow a naturalist tendency, their execution is highly conventional. In this study, the AMS 14C dating was possible on an anthropomorph of the third phase also painted in red (3770 to 3650 Cal BC, minimum age), on the basis of a well-known technique (oxalates dating). These results were completed using a methodology that combines physicochemical and micro-stratigraphic analyses used to interpret this dating, which is difficult to get it. Considering the need to put in first place the preservation of the rock paintings under study we could not get another one. Furthermore, a meaningful number of questions arise related to dating and cultural relationship to the first pictorial phase which has been defined upon traditional archaeological criteria, which we intend to propose as our leading hypothesis, by means of the analysis of archaeological environment from the Atlantic area, proposing a probable date (Later Stone Age-Early Holocene).
