Sumario:  This paper presents a qualitative and quantitative analysis of rock art located at the Yaten Guajen and El Lechuza canyons of the northern shore of the Santa Cruz river region (Santa Cruz, Argentina). With this aim, we have developed a distributional recording method designed to analyze the distribution of rock art in broad spatial scales. The results from these analyses provide information about general patterns present in the rock art of both canyons in terms of a) spatial distribution, b) type of bedrock topography selection, mortiftypes, and d) production techniques. Results of the analyses show the existence of certain patterns in the construction of visual images, which are visible in the motif types repertoires, in their combinations, and in their relationship to the types of bedrock topography. These results are further related to the mobility, visual communication and social control of the transmission of such patterns among the hunter-gatherer groups living in the region.
