| Sumario: | This article presents the results of the formal analysis of the late paintings and engravings surveyed at Puesto Blanco site, located in the southwest of Chubut province, near the town of Río Mayo. Arrigoni initially reported this site, which contains geometric motifs— most abstracts— in 1993. The formal characterization presented here responds mainly to the need for new exhaustive and detailed documentation of the site, given its high state of deterioration. The objective of this paper is to present the morphological analysis of this site motifs as a first step of a research/analysis proposal that goes from macroscopic to microscopic, with the ultimate goal of contributing to the conservation and scientific dissemination of the extensive iconographic repertoire of this locality. The importance of carrying out distributional analyses for these types of manifestations widely represented in the area in particular, and in Patagonia in general, is also highlighted, also taking into account the presence of similar repertoires of images and colors in different surfaces found in the area (such as in painted leather or fur cloaks locally known as “quillangos”). |
