| Sumario: | La Primavera (Santa Cruz province, Argentina) archaeological locality was occupied by mobile hunter-gatherers from early to late Holocene (ca. 9500-940 BP). In previous studies, the distributions of archaeological evidences at this locality were analyzed using Geographic Information Systems (SIG) to detect recurrences in the use of space. Among the different evidence classes analyzed, the rock art distribution is conditioned by the presence of naturally available rock surfaces, and these are determined in turn by local geomorphology. Therefore, to study human decisions and art production in the context of the landscape, it is necessary to consider the distribution of naturally available rock surfaces. To address this problem, in this article locations of caves with rock art are compared with locations of caves without art which present rock surfaces adequate for painting and present good preservation conditions. T he results obtained do not reach a statistical significance, but allow us to formulate the following working hypotheses: the caves chosen to perform paintings where those located closer to resources as water sources, lithic quarries, ochre pigments sources, closer to mobility pathways and which present wider viewsheds. |
