The paintings of Laja Alta rock shelter (Cadiz) have generated an intense debate regarding their chronological affiliation since their first publication. This research project made it possible to obtain the first analytical data for an interpretation of their cultural significance. This article provides a synthesis of the controversies generated, clarifies the data obtained and contextualizes all the painted motifs represented. The obtained conclusions, avoiding hypothetical prejudices, corroborate the neolithic-chalcolithic cultural context of the naval motifs. These conclusions allow new perspectives of research about the earliest navigation by sailing ship between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. © A. Morgado-Rodríguez, E. García Alfonso, L.
