Descripción
Sumario:          In this work we present the results of systematic archaeological surveys developed in the coast and lower drainages of Vítor ravine and Camarones valley. This data in addition to archaeological information from Lluta and Azapa basins, shows that painting wasn’t a common technique for manufacturing rock art in the Pacifi c coast and lower western valleys of northern Chile, since there are only seven sites of this kind. In despite of the undersupply of rock paintings, we address a quantitative and qualitative characterization of it, considering the shape, technique and iconography. Finally, the information that comes from the archaeological context related to the paints is discussed and perfected considering the results of the characterization.
