The cave of Chufín is located in the town of Riclones in Rionansa, Spain [1]. In Chufín were found different levels of occupation, the oldest being around 20000 years old [1]. The small cave has some subtle engravings and paintings of red deer, goats, and cattle, all represented very schematically [1]. Also found in the cave were many symbols [1].
