	Cave Art in Church Hole, Creswell Crags, England
		However; in April 2004 we gathered at the cave once again in order to check and finalise the tracings made from photographs, before the international conference on "The Cave Art of Creswell Crags in European Context" which was held in Creswell village from 15 to 17 April.
		We have already identified a new phenomenon which we have named the "Creswell eye", since several of the figures have an eye which is neither engraved nor pecked, but rather abraded or scoured into a small round cupule.
		In Church Hole we have a rock-shape on the ceiling which was clearly modified to enhance its natural resemblance to a bison head, and inside it the artist(s) inserted not one but two superimposed bison heads of different sizes.
