Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: Ritzzeichnung
In der Höhle, die in der Nähe von Santander entdeckt wurde, sind 15000 Jahre alte Felsmalereien und *Ritzzeichungen* aus der Altsteinzeit zu bewundern.

Weiß jemand wie man diese Zeichnungen auf Englisch nennt?

xxxFrancis Lee: 12:47pm Dec 4, 2007: How would you describe this in English? And what's the context/readership?

(palaeolithic) engraving; intaglio, incised...
Erklärung:
Based on the native-Eng. website below (text via Bristol Univ.), with refs to French and Spanish cave drawings. Engraving & engraved occur often; carving once, in a caption. (this isn't to quibble with 'petroglyph' - although 'engraving' accords to the 'Ritz-' element, and petroglyph is a larger category. Browsing for <palaeolithic+drawing> is quite promising. M.L. Apelt, German-Eng. Dict.: Art History - Archaeology (Berlin: Erich Schmidt Vlg., 1982, offers 'incised picture, scratched picture' for RitzBILD. But it's a small dictionary for a period from present to prehistory.
INTAGLIO (more at home in printmaking, but not only) is incised-line work. Very generally, INCISED and CARVED would't be amiss. Wikipedia has 'incised' under the heading 'Themes and Patterns' (2nd www ref below)

petroglyph

Erklärung:
Dictionary.com says:

a drawing or carving on rock, made by a member of a prehistoric people.

I have never seen 'petroglyph' used to refer to cave paintings, only to carvings in the rock. We have quite a few in the US Southwest.

sketch

Erklärung:
IMHO - sketch/es (on the cave walls). The previous term Felsmalerei refers to rock, wall, etc., so you can use just "cave paintings and sketches".
