Abstract The following dissertation presents a methodological framework of studying rock art engravings from the Ocreza Valley, which belongs to the Tagus Rock art Complex of Portugal. Currently it is the sole area in the whole complex with confirmed Palaeolithic animal representations. An attempt is made to chronologically frame a newly discovered panel, while there is also a review of a panel with a single figure previously found at the same area, in order to investigate possible relations among them. As a result of the absence of Palaeolithic dates the dating method that is used inevitably is that of stylistic comparison. Stylistic parallels were searched in major sites with upper palaeolithic rock art from the Iberia, with a focus in the Western part of the peninsula. Additionally, the case of synchroneity between the figures is discussed. Preliminary indications argued in favour of a palaeolithic chronology (Gravettian-Solutrean). Except the chronological questions, another issue appears to be the identification of the species. Regarding the new panel, in absence of characteristic features for the species identification, a morphological analysis is conducted to inform about the possible represented animals. Finally, the prehistory of cultural groups associated with Upper Palaeolithic Western Iberia and the use of metamorphic rocks for the creation of rock art are briefly examined to understand further the general context and the behaviour of the prehistoric artists.
