In order to understand its production, an attempt is made to specify its agency and social context of production. To examine this last aspect, the possible development of ritual activities is explored by applying the principles enunciated by Ross and Davidson (2006) for their detection in sites with rock art. As a result, it is proposed that the framework for understanding the distribution and creation of the analyzed record would be given by the development of religious and witchcraft activities, in some cases in the struggle for control of certain spaces. En el presente artículo se identifican y analizan veintiséis representaciones rupestres de cinco sitios de San Juan estrechamente vinculables con referentes de la iconografía cristiana. Con el objeto de comprender su producción, se intenta precisar su agencia y contexto social de realización. Para examinar este último aspecto se explora el posible desarrollo de actividades rituales aplicando los principios enunciados por Ross y Davidson (2006) para su detección en sitios con arte rupestre. Como resultado, se propone que el marco para entender la distribución y creación del registro analizado estaría dado por el desarrollo de actividades religiosas y de brujería, en algunos casos en lucha por el control de determinados espacios. Neste artigo, são identificadas e analisadas vinte e seis representações rupestres de cinco sítios de San Juan intimamente ligados a referências da iconografia cristã. Para compreender sua produção, procura-se especificar sua agência e seu contexto social de produção. Para examinar este último aspecto, explora-se o possível desenvolvimento de atividades rituais aplicando os princípios enunciados por Ross e Davidson (2006) para sua detecção em sítios com arte rupestre. Como resultado, propõe-se que o arcabouço para a compreensão da distribuição e criação do registro analisado se daria pelo desenvolvimento das atividades religiosas e de feitiçaria, em alguns casos na luta pelo controle de determinados espaços.

In this article, twenty-six cave representations from five sites in San Juan closely linked to references of Christian iconography are identified and analyzed. In order to understand its production, an attempt is made to specify its agency and social context of production. To examine this last aspect, the possible development of ritual activities is explored by applying the principles enunciated by Ross and Davidson (2006) for their detection in sites with rock art. As a result, it is proposed that the framework for understanding the distribution and creation of the analyzed record would be given by the development of religious and witchcraft activities, in some cases in the struggle for control of certain spaces. |
