Summary
Rock art in Mexico's Sierra de San Francisco reveals a dynamic interplay between time and space, offering insights into the enduring transmission of memory from ancient hunter-gatherer groups to contemporary indigenous communities. The study highlights five temporal dimensions—preliminary, iconographic, chronological, pervivence, and abandonment—that shape the interpretation of this art form. By analyzing these layers, researchers uncover how rock paintings serve as a medium for cultural continuity, bridging millennia and connecting past practices with present-day ethnic identities.
