A mural designed around a principal panel at Altamira

The east wall of the Atrium in the Archaeological Research Facility features a mural designed around a principal panel at Altamira, the renowned Upper Paleolithic cave art site in northern Spain. The mural was painted by artist Amanda Adams in 2005 following the seismic retrofitting of the ARF building. Amanda Adams has published a book about early women archaeologists entitled Ladies of the Field: Early Women Archaeologists and Their Search for Adventure (Greystone Books, 2010).
