Summary
Arthropods, though less represented in the rock art of Coahuila, Mexico, offer valuable insights into the environmental and ecological contexts of ancient hunter-gatherer societies. This preliminary study identifies and analyzes arthropod figures within the Sierra de San Francisco rock paintings, suggesting their potential role in reflecting habitat conditions and human interactions with these organisms. By integrating ethnological and historical sources, researchers aim to unravel the functional significance of these rare depictions, contributing to a broader understanding of prehistoric cultural practices and ecological relationships.
