The case of La Presa de la Luz archaeological site in Jesús María municipality, Jalisco, Mexico is no exception. Our study of the site during more than ten years of continuous work has allowed us to rethink the task of its preservation via a methodology of appropriation and the raising of the awareness of nearby populations about their relationship with the environment that surrounds them. The site represents a close link between the past and the present due to the fact that many of the rock engravings are located near homes, along paths, embedded in the walls of churches, and, in particular, distributed among the foothills surrounding the dam.

Los sitios arqueológicos con arte rupestre son quizá los más vulnerables para su conservación y protección, más aún cuando estos se encuentran dentro de zonas urbanizadas o cercanos a asentamientos humanos modernos. El caso del sitio arqueológico de La Presa de la Luz, en el Municipio de Jesús María (Jalisco, México) no es la excepción. Su estudio por más de 10 años de trabajo continuo nos ha llevado a replantear la tarea de su conservación, a través de una metodología de apropiación y sensibilización con las poblaciones cercanas y su relación con el medio ambiente que los rodea. El sitio tiene un vínculo muy cercano entre el pasado y el presente, debido a que muchos de los grabados rupestres se encuentran junto a las viviendas actuales, a la vera de los caminos, empotrados en las iglesias y, especialmente, en las estribaciones de la presa. En este sentido, este trabajo buscará abordar los procesos de intervención y las estrategias de protección corresponsables, teniendo en cuenta la magnitud de la evidencia arqueológica, que ocupa un área superior a las 500 ha de terreno y registra más de 1.200 petroglifos.
