The rock art of Ruca Ñanco (painting and engravings) high Andean cordillera norpatagonica and its relation with transcordilleran sites.

We present the preliminary results of the survey of rock representations from the Ruca Ñanco site, composed of three rocky outcrops, located in the mountain range sector, south of Alumine, province of Neuquén, Argentina. Given its proximity to the Chilean border, we compare some stylistic and techno...

description We present the preliminary results of the survey of rock representations from the Ruca Ñanco site, composed of three rocky outcrops, located in the mountain range sector, south of Alumine, province of Neuquén, Argentina. Given its proximity to the Chilean border, we compare some stylistic and technological characteristics between sets of Chile and Argentina, to confront the proposal of Chilean researchers working in nearby latitudes and who proposed to use rock representations to identify and materialize mobility circuits between one and the other mountain slope. From our work, we describe evident motifs and scenes and a first approximation to the potentially latent ones, characterizing for the site two technical modalities (engraving and painting), whose motifs do not correspond to the Styles proposed for Patagonia, nor to the stylistic tendencies and regional modalities, but rather, similar to styles previously described for the Chilean Araucanía region in the case of painting, and shared on both sides of the mountain range for engraving. The presence of motifs and scenes that confirm early contacts with the Spanish settlements in the western sector of the Cordillera, established around the middle of the 16th century, is highlighted. Finally, it is proposed to use concepts of territoriality that derive from categories constructed by the indigenous peoples themselves as opposed to the use of others that materialize and reproduce the Andes as a biographical and political limit instead of a landscape shared by people who have inhabited both sides of the mountain range since pre-Hispanic times as a single territory.

Dada su proximidad a la frontera de Chile, comparamos algunas características estilísticas y tecnológicas entre conjuntos de Chile y Argentina, para confrontar la propuesta de investigadores chilenos que trabajan en latitudes cercanas y que propusieron utilizar representaciones rupestres para identificar y materializar circuitos de movilidad entre una y otra vertiente cordillerana. A partir nuestro trabajo, describimos motivos y escenas evidentes y una primera aproximación a las potencialmente latentes, caracterizando para el sitio dos modalidades técnicas (grabado y pintado), cuyos motivos no se corresponden con los Estilos propuestos para la Patagonia, ni a las tendencias estilísticas y modalidades regionales, sino más bien, semejantes a estilos previamente descritos para región de la Araucanía chilena en caso de la pintura, y compartidos a ambos lados de la cordillera para el grabado. Se destaca la presencia de motivos y escenas que confirman tempranos contactos con los asentamientos españoles del sector occidental cordillerano establecidos hacia mitad del siglo XVI. Finalmente, se propone utilizar conceptos de territorialidad que deriven de categorías construidas por los mismos pueblos indígenas en oposición del uso de otras que tienen a materializar y reproducir a la cordillera de Los Andes como un límite biográfico y político en lugar de un paisaje compartido por personas que habitan ambas márgenes de la cordillera desde tiempos prehispánicos como un mismo territorio.    Apresentamos os resultados preliminares do levantamento das representações rupestres do sítio Ruca Ñanco, composto por três afloramentos rochosos, localizado no setor Cordillera, ao sul de Alumine, província de Neuquén, Argentina. Dada a sua proximidade com a fronteira chilena, comparamos algumas características estilísticas e tecnológicas entre grupos do Chile e da Argentina, para confrontar a proposta de investigadores chilenos que trabalham em latitudes próximas e que propuseram utilizar as representações rupestres para identificar e materializar circuitos de mobilidade entre as duas vertentes montanhosas. Com base no nosso trabalho, descrevemos motivos e cenas evidentes e uma primeira aproximação aos potencialmente latentes, caracterizando para o sítio duas modalidades técnicas (gravura e pintura), cujos motivos não correspondem aos Estilos propostos para a Patagónia, nem às tendências estilísticas e modalidades regionais, mas sim, semelhantes a estilos previamente descritos para a região chilena da Araucanía no caso da pintura, e partilhados em ambos os lados da cordilheira para a gravura. Destaca-se a presença de motivos e cenas que confirmam os primeiros contactos com os assentamentos espanhóis no sector ocidental da Cordilheira, estabelecidos por volta de meados do século XVI. Finalmente, propõe-se a utilização de conceitos de territorialidade que derivam de categorias construídas pelos próprios povos indígenas em oposição ao uso de outros que materializam e reproduzem a Cordilheira dos Andes como uma fronteira biográfica e política em vez de uma paisagem partilhada por povos que habitam ambos os lados da cordilheira desde os tempos pré-hispânicos como um único território.     Centro de Estudios Históricos.
