Rock art and technological choices during the transition towards food production in Argentine Southern Puna (ca. 5.500-1.500 BP)

This paper analyzes the changes observed in the choices related to rock art production, seeking to interpret those modifications within the frame of a broader socio-historical process, the transition to food production. With that goal in mind, we worked with the totality of archaeological sites and...

With that goal in mind, we worked with the totality of archaeological sites and rock art motifs corresponding to such temporality located in the micro-region of Antofagasta de la Sierra, Catamarca. In this way, we were able to define that certain change factors, considered important for the research of modifications in different social action spheres during this same lapse, also played a relevant role in rock art production. Nevertheless, and more importantly, it was the consideration of the used rock art production techniques, the analysis of different variables both at a site and motif level (emplacement and visibility characteristics, stylistic modalities, types of surfaces, classes and quantities of motifs), and their examination within a broader context which allowed us to perform a more adjusted interpretation of the observed long term trends. We think in this paper as a first approach towards a problematic that, so far, has only been addressed tangentially, highlighting the novel, yet preliminary character, of this proposal. El trabajo aquí presentado analiza los cambios observados en las elecciones vinculadas con la producción rupestre, buscando interpretar tales modificaciones dentro del marco de un proceso socio-histórico más amplio, la transición hacia la producción de alimentos. Con esa finalidad en mente se trabajó con la totalidad de sitios y motivos correspondientes a esa temporalidad ubicados en la microrregión de Antofagasta de la Sierra, Catamarca. De esta manera pudimos definir que ciertos factores de cambio, considerados relevantes para la investigación de modificaciones en otras esferas del accionar social durante este mismo momento, también desempeñaron un rol en la producción del arte rupestre. Sin embargo, y más importante aún, fue la consideración de las técnicas de producción utilizadas, el análisis de distintas variables sobre sitios y motivos (características de emplazamiento, visibilidad, tipos de soporte, modalidades estilísticas, tipos y cuantificación de motivos) y su evaluación dentro de un contexto más amplio lo que nos permitió interpretar de manera más ajustada las tendencias apreciadas en el largo plazo. Consideramos este trabajo como un primer acercamiento a una problemática que hasta este momento sólo fue abordada de manera tangencial, destacando el carácter novedoso, aunque preliminar, de la propuesta.
