Arte rupestre de tiempos históricos en la Sierra Pie de Palo (San Juan)

Abstract

The Sierra Pie de Palo, located in the southeast of the province of San Juan, contains a rich archaeological heritage formed mainly by manifestations of rock art. Some of these correspond to interventions carried out in historical times, so it is relevant to know their characteristics, distribution and spatial association with the previous record. As an initial contribution to this study, the present work offers a basic classification of the historical rupestrian record of the four best-known sites in the sector, and analyzes the degree of affectation of the pre-Hispanic motifs already existing in them.
