Rituality and rock art in the Villicum Mountain Range (San Juan).: The case of the Quebrada La Pola site

The abundant rock art record of the province of San Juan (central-western Argentina) provides cases in which this perspective can be tested. One of them is the La Pola ravine, known as the scene of religious and witchcraft activities in colonial and modern times, and whose sacred character could date back to pre-Hispanic times. In this sense, we identified a set of motifs that could be associated with canonical messages involved in rituals and account for the repeated execution of these activities. This paper presents the analysis of these motifs and examines other aspects that would be closely related to their execution, such as the chronological continuity of the rituals, the use of space and the possible shamanic character of some of them. Una de las vías de explicación de la producción de arte rupestre es su vinculación con el desarrollo de rituales. El abundante registro rupestre de la provincia de San Juan (centro-oeste argentino) proporciona casos en los que puede ensayarse esta perspectiva. Uno de ellos es el de la quebrada La Pola, conocida como escenario de actividades religiosas y de brujería en tiempos coloniales y modernos, y cuyo carácter sagrado podría remontarse a momentos prehispánicos. En este sentido, se identificó un conjunto de motivos que podrían asociarse a mensajes canónicos involucrados en rituales y dar cuenta de la ejecución reiterada de estas actividades. En este trabajo se presenta el análisis de esos motivos y se examinan otros aspectos que estarían estrechamente relacionados con su ejecución, como la continuidad cronológica de los rituales, el uso del espacio y el posible carácter chamánico de algunos de ellos. Uma das maneiras de explicar a produção de arte rupestre é sua ligação com o desenvolvimento de rituais. O abundante registro de arte rupestre da província de San Juan (centro-oeste da Argentina) oferece casos em que essa perspectiva pode ser testada. Um deles é a ravina La Pola, conhecida como cenário de atividades religiosas e de feitiçaria nos tempos coloniais e modernos, e cujo caráter sagrado pode remontar aos tempos pré-hispânicos. Nesse sentido, foi identificado um conjunto de motivos que poderiam ser associados a mensagens canônicas envolvidas em rituais e que poderiam explicar a execução repetida dessas atividades. Este artigo apresenta a análise desses motivos e examina outros aspectos que estariam intimamente relacionados à sua execução, como a continuidade cronológica dos rituais, o uso do espaço e o possível caráter xamânico de alguns deles.
