A theoretic-methodological frame based on Pierce’s semiotics is proposed, emphasizing two different levels of analysis: syntactic and prag-matic. The results from syntactic analysis show that there is a dual structure constructed by the same spatial logic in the three sites. To achieve pragmatic analysis, regional contextual data and previous stylistic analysis are considered, taking into account two different levels of structural variation in rock art: landscape and style. Some contextual similarities with another petroglyph site of the region suggests that both places played an active role in the re-signification of social landscape in Aconcagua upper basin during Inca expansion. In this context, stylistic changes may reflect the circulation of messages under a novel situation shared with other regions of Collasuyu, which produced the modification of iconographic codes. Este artículo presenta un abordaje semiótico de tres sitios con petroglifos del cerro Tuququre en el valle de Putaendo, Chile central, con el objeto de determinar patrones de estructuración espacial internos y comprender el rol de estos espacios en la construcción del paisaje social durante la presencia incaica en la región. Para ello, se desarrolla una propuesta teórico-metodológica basada en la semiótica de Ch. Peirce, enfocada en dos niveles de análisis: el sintáctico y el pragmático. Los resultados del análisis sintáctico indican la presencia de estructuras duales en los tres sitios mencionados, siguiendo una misma lógica de construcción espacial. Para abordar el análisis pragmático, se inserta la evidencia en el contexto regional y se integra con análisis estilísticos previos, dando cuenta del funcionamiento de dos esferas de variación estructural del arte rupestre: el paisaje y el estilo. Las similitudes contextuales con otro sitio con petroglifos de la región sugieren que ambos espacios cumplieron un rol activo en la re-significación del paisaje social de la cuenca superior del río Aconcagua durante la expansión incaica. En este contexto, los cambios estilísticos observados pueden reflejar la circulación de mensajes ante una situación novedosa compartida con otras regiones del Collasuyu, que finalmente produjeron la modificación de los códigos iconográficos. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1814 10.34096/arqueologia.t18.n0.1814 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1814/1698 Arqueología; Vol. 18 (2012); 209-234 Arqueología; Vol. 18 (2012); 209-234 1853-8126 0327-5159 petroglifos semiótica paisaje social Chile central expansión incaica petroglyphs semiotic social landscape central Chile Inka expansion Semiotics, social landscape and rock art during Inka period in Aconcagua upper basin, central Chile Semiótica, paisaje social y arte rupestre de época incaica en la cuenca superior del Río Aconcagua, Chile central info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=1814_oai
