Arte rupestre en contexto colonial. Análisis preliminares del sitio Alero Estancia Guayascate, norte de Córdoba (Argentina)

Preliminary analysis of rock art at the Alero Estancia Guayascate site, part of the Jesuit Block and Estancias of Córdoba UNESCO World Heritage Site, reveals insights into the intersection of Indigenous and colonial identities during the 16th century. The study suggests that the rock art, traditionally a marker of shared identity among local groups in northern Córdoba, lost its original significance under colonial rule due to disruptions caused by the introduction of new populations through land grants (encomiendas). Archaeological evidence indicates that the site's use declined as Spanish authorities and introduced populations altered daily life, leading to a cessation of rock art production. The research combines ethnohistorical and archaeological methods to contextualize the site within broader colonial dynamics.
