By Christopher McDougall Anoclatsd Pnu Rebanda said. Stone Age art, jnore commonly found painted on cave walls, has only been discovered cut into exposed rock in five other locations in Europe one in France, three in Spain and one in Portugal. NONE OF those sites matches Coa in the number as many as 60 and variety of carvings. The site, 80 miles from the Atlantic coast, had not been known to be inhabited by humans in the Paleolithic period or Old Stone Age, which lasted from about 2 million to 10,000 B.C. Clottes found a number of unusual images among the carvings.

One shows two nuzzling horses; another an ibex created by two curving lines, one forming the head and antler and a second curving to form the back and second antler. The Portuguese government recently passed a law requiring companies to fund preservation of archeological artifacts discovered on project sites. But the law doesn't include guidelines for what "preservation" entails. The electric company argues that sinking the carvings under 300 feet of water is a conservation measure. Clottes, surprisingly, came out in favor of going ahead with the dam project.

"If they choose to stop the dam, the big advantage is no harm from water and the engravings are open fpr examination for a good long time," he said. "But the disadvantage is that the gallery is open to van'dalism. "Anyone with a hammer and chisel could destroy everything within a few hours." Clottes has proposed that the carvings be thoroughly studied, and tracings and reproductions made, and then that they be submerged, with the water level lowered every 10 years for updates. Clottes said he doesn't believe the water would damage the carvings. "The impact report on the carvings should be matched by an impact report on hundreds of workers and jobs and economy of the region," said Portuguese archeologist Adilia Alarcao, who supports that proposal.

LISBON, Portugal Deep in the wilds of northern Portugal, far from where Stone Age man was believed to have wandered, an archeologist stumbled across dozens of nuzzling horses, wild bulls and deer chiseled into a remote granite riverbank. The carvings are one of the most impressive examples of Paleolithic art in the world and they may soon be deep underwater. A $300 million dam is under construction a few miles away 6n the Coa river. The river's waters have already swallowed half the graceful line carvings, and the rest will probably disappear beneath the surface within a few years. "There is absolutely no question- the gallery is genuine," said French archeologist Jean Clottes, who assessed the carvings for the Portugese government and the United Nations.

"It could be the most important outdoor Paleolithic site in the world." The discovery has touched off a flurry of charges of corruption and scientific incompetence and arguments over what should take precedence in one of western Europe's poorest countries: jobs or culture. AT THE center of the storm are the state-owned Electricidade de Portugal, which is building the dam, and Nelson Rebanda, a 32-year-old archeologist accused of keeping the carvings secret until he could publish his research. Rebanda was working on an impact survey for the dam project three years ago when he came across a carving he judged "of minor importance." Sometime in the past year he made his big find a meandering parade of animal figures cut into the riverbank with Stone Age tools. Colleague Maria Simoes de Abreu, whom Rebanda called to authenticate his findings, said the discovery was made early enough to have stopped construction of the dam. Both Rebanda and electric company spokesman Antonio Ribeiro dos Santos denied hiding the TALLADEGA Services for Cecil Carpenter, 96, of Talladega, will be Saturday at 1 1 a.m.

Watnh for Outstandina SEATTLE An explosion shook a blazing warehouse and its main floor collapsed, trapping four firefighters who were missing and feared dead.

The fire was contained around 1 a.m., but officials said the building was still too dangerous to enter.

More than 100 firefighters were combating the blaze. Four suffered minor burns and a fifth sustained a minor neck injury. "There were tall flames," said Charles A. Berkey, a witness. "Big flames, maybe two stories tall." The one-story building housed the Mary Pang frozen food processing operation and Mary Pang's Chinese Cooking School.

Taylor said it contained a lot of wood construction and such fuels as ammonia and other refrigerants. The cause of the fire was unknown. Police Chief Norm Stamper said more than 25 investigators from the police and fire departments were assigned to toe case. Mrs. Pang said no employees were inside when the fire broke out.

A rock band called "Dr. Unknown" was getting ready for a practice session in the warehouse. ONE PAIR BUY 01 'BUY GET 1 PAIR FREE!" reported, said Fire Department spokeswoman Georgia Taylor.
