Sumario:This paper presents a new site with rock engravings located in the valley of the Auque stream, in the Northwest of the Neuquén province. These are engravings made on an outcrop of pyrophyllite, a rock similar to soapstone or commonly called stone toad or soap. Due to the remarkable exceptionality of its use as a support, we carry out a characterization of it, as well as the motives present, the techniques used, its spatial location and archaeological visibility. In this way, we discuss the particularity of the designs recorded within the rock production context of the Neuquén river basin and the North of Neuquén in general.
