Nevertheless, karstic areas usually imply complex studies, and a universal methodology Available online 25 March 2010 is very difficult to establish. This work exposes the basic methodology for the geological risk assessment in archaeological site and/or rock art bearing karstic caves getting a strategy that provides flexibility Keywords: to adjust specific methods according to the conditions of different cases. The integrated use of basic Karstic cave geological (mapping, petrology, stratigraphy. . .) and geotechnical (rock mass quality analytical methods Cultural heritage Damage prevention and indexes) techniques used in engineering geology is proposed. Those techniques permi
