Paleolithic cave art is generally thought to date to the time period of 30,000-10,000 BC. This is based on radiocarbon dating and other methods of determining the age of the caves and the artworks within them. Some earlier examples of cave art have been found, such as the red disks and hand stencils in El Castillo cave in northern Spain, which date to around 40,000 years ago. However, the majority of the known prehistoric cave art comes from the later period of the Upper Paleolithic.
