Sumario:This paper presents preliminary results on rock art from the site Corral Grande 1, located in Antofagasta de la Sierra, Catamarca, Argentina. We describe the analysed motifs and provide a regional framework based on a comparison with similar cases within the study region. The results obtained from this analysis are then discussed in relation to the settlement and subsistence models proposed for the early societies that populated the area (ca. 3,000-1,100 years BP). Bearing in mind these models, we propose an interpretation for some of the motifs in relation to the main economic activities of early Andean societies: camelid pastoralism and agricultural production.
