In the first decade of activities by the Bolivian Rock art Research Society, 1987-1997, focus of research was on recording numerous sites and analysis of Colonial rock art. Only quite recently has some progress been made in preliminary sequences of Pre-Hispanic rock art traditions. Defi ning the earliest rock art in Bolivia is hampered by limited archaeological research, particularly concerning the Archaic period, and lack of excavations in rock art sites. Projects in five regions have come up with entirely different results of early rock art traditions: ancient cupules in Mizque (department of Cochabamba), abstract incisions near Lake Titicaca (department of La Paz), negative handprints (stencils) in caves of Mojocoya (department of Chuquisaca) and Paja Colorada (Vallegrande, department of Santa Cruz), as well as representation of wild camelids and hunters in rock paintings of Betanzos (department of Potosí). The diversity of early prehistoric rock art in Bolivia points to different independent developments which also appear in other South American regions.
