| Sumario: | This article aims to characterise the rock art at the Chañares 1 and 2 sites. Together with some surface concentrations of lithic and pottery remains, these two sites comprise an archaeological locality in the confluence of the Torcido and Chañares rivers, south of the Talampaya National Park. The analysis of the iconographic repertoire is included as well as the articulation of the assemblages on the different decorative surfaces defined by numerous panels which cover several meters of rocky outcrops locally known as “bordo”, a kind of furrow. Sandstone from Triassic formation is the support rock, which yields differential preservation processes affecting rock art survival. Furthermore, it rests on a clayish, deposit which makes the structure highly unstable. Due to the limited informative potential of the sample regarding both chronological and stylistic estimates, and to the absence of diagnostic overlapping, the focus is placed on inter-site and compared iconography analyses for more significant results. For this reason, this southern sector of the Protected Area is related to the settlements in the Talampaya river valley, thoroughly and previously studied. |
