Arte rupestre y demarcación territorial: el caso del grupo estilístico B1 en el área Río Pinturas (Santa Cruz, Argentina)

Research at Cueva de las Manos, Río Pinturas, reveals significant insights into territorial demarcation and mobility patterns among ancient human groups. The study identifies distinct styles within the B1 stylistic group of rock art, characterized by variations in guanaco representation, and traces their distribution across multiple sites: Cueva de las Manos (ARP I), Alero Charcamata-II (CH II), Cueva Grande de Arroyo Feo (AF I), and Cerro de los Indios-1 (CI-1). Findings indicate that around 3500 years ago, certain styles became widespread across these sites, suggesting a period of shared cultural practices. However, this unity fragmented over time, with CI-1 diverging to align with sites in the nearby Parque Nacional Perito Moreno, reflecting shifting territorial dynamics and ecological adaptations.
