“…The uniqueness of the find at L'Hort de la Boquera also is apparent when considered in terms of composition. While anthropomorphs are occasionally integrated into scenic compositions, especially in portable art (the scenes of Bruniquel, Chaˆteau des Eyzies, LaugerieBasse, Mas d'Azil, Pe´chialet, Raymonden, RocdeSers or La Vache) (Duhard, 1996), birds almost always are depicted in isolation or in relation to other animals [the bird-bison association at Altxerri or Altamira sites (Altuna and Apellaniz, 1976)] or the association of chicks, deer, seals and fish at La Vache cave (Cremades, 1997), and rarely with humans. As noted by Duhard, in the scenic relation between humans and animals there is a positive and a negative selection of species (Duhard, 1996: 178).…”
