| Sumario: | The proposed approach is based on the fact that the circulation and movement of people through space, and their relationship with it and with the things found there, is largely related to certain factors that do not respond to economic ends. Now, is it possible to get to know these factors? By considering that things have agency, although when related to people (Alberti 2016; Van Dyke 2015), we propose a preliminar methodology to try to answer this question through, mainly, rock art. Approaching this materiality complementarily with historical sources, toponymy, interviews with residents and other lines of archaeological evidence, it is concluded that the incorporation of these themes can enrich the discipline and the interpretations about how people circulated through the landscape, and how certain symbolic factors could affect the ways of perceiving and inhabiting it. The proposed methodology integrates different lines of analysis, with the ultimate goal of generating a decolonial and respectful understanding of a past that is spatially, temporally and identitarily far from the majority of those who build this discipline. |
