El arte rupestre en la cuenca del lago Traful (provincia del Neuquén). Análisis de la distribución espacial y accesibilidad de sus sitios

Abstract

This paper presents a study on the archaeological sites with rock paintings and engravings in the Traful Lake Basin (tlb), located southwest of the Province of Neuquén, Argentina. The location of the sites is analysed in relation to their environment and accessibility. The studies suggest that the location of the archaeological sites with art in tlb does not follow a specific pattern in connection with their environment and accessibility. This heterogeneity would be related to the organization of mobility and of the settlement-subsistence systems of the hunter-gatherers and their relation with the social and ritual calendar.
