The morphological and technical diversity of the petroglyphs, their size and treatment, the spatial relationships between motifs and the location of the panels in the broader landscape are considered. Unlike previous studies that highlighted the homogeneity of this repertoire of images, the analysis shows that the engravings from southern Santiago del Estero are diverse, both at the inter-hill level and within each hill. The diversity found was evaluated in the context of the petroglyphs from other sectors of the Pampean Sierra, such as the Northwestern hills of Córdoba, the Ancasti hill (Catamarca) and the valleys of Northwest Argentina. The results show two situations. The first involves motifs widely shared on the supraregional scale (footprints, circumferences, dots and lines) linked, at least in their subject matter, with hunter-gatherer societies. In the second situation, these images are no longer so predominant and occur among other types of motifs that provide a local signature to the places. However, the identity ties with the hunter-gatherer origin of the populations were never lost through this technique. En este trabajo se analizan comparativamente seis sitios con grabados rupestres ubicados en las sierras de Ambargasta y Ramírez de Velasco, al sur de Santiago del Estero. Se evalúan los aspectos morfológicos y técnicos de los grabados, su tamaño y tratamiento, las relaciones espaciales entre los motivos y la localización de los paneles en el paisaje más amplio. A diferencia de los estudios previos que destacaron la homogeneidad de este repertorio de imágenes, el análisis indica que los grabados del sur de Santiago del Estero son muy diversos, tanto a nivel interserrano como al interior de cada sector. La diversidad detectada se evaluó en el contexto de los grabados de otros sectores de las sierras Pampeanas, como las sierras Noroccidentales de Córdoba, la sierra de Ancasti (Catamarca) y el área valliserrana del Noroeste Argentino. Los resultados muestran dos situaciones. La primera involucra motivos ampliamente compartidos en la escala suprarregional (pisadas, circunferencias, puntos y líneas) vinculados, al menos en su temática, con sociedades cazadoras-recolectoras. En la segunda situación, dichas imágenes ya no son tan preponderantes y aparecen junto a otro tipo de motivos que otorgan un sello local a los lugares. Sin embargo, nunca se perdieron los lazos identitarios con el origen cazador-recolector de las poblaciones a través de esta técnica. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/14376 10.34096/arqueologia.t31.n1.14376 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/14376/14032 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/14376/14033 Derechos de autor 2025 Natalia Carden, Diego Catriel Leon Arqueología; Vol. 31 No. 1 (2025): enero-abril; 14376 Arqueología; Vol. 31 Núm. 1 (2025): enero-abril; 14376 1853-8126 0327-5159 agency landscape rock art Cazadores-recolectores Sierras Pampeanas Agencia Paisaje Arte rupestre Among bushes, streams, and hills: a comparative approach to the morphological, technical and spatial diversity of the petroglyphs from southern Santiago del Estero, Argentina Entre montes, arroyos y cerros: una aproximación comparativa a la diversidad morfológica, técnica y espacial de los grabados rupestres del sur de Santiago del Estero, Argentina info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=14376_oai
