URQUIZA, Silvana Valeria. Arte rupestre de las Sierras del Norte de Córdoba, Argentina. Comechingonia [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.1, pp.115-137. ISSN 1851-0027.

This paper aims to improve and enhance the regional knowledge. We present the record and the further analysis of five sites having rock art in the Sierra Norte of Córdoba, Argentina. To the moment 172 representations are indentifi ed, which are conformed by pictographs and petroglyphs, distributed in 12 support rocks. As attempt to understand the motifs, the use and spatial dynamics, chronology, the techniques, overpositions and yuxtapositions are analyzed. The stylistical and regional relationship with several sites of Córdoba, Catamarca and La Rioja are discussed. This allows us to recognize a group with stylistic affinities, which emphasizes the human motifs that are typical to the Sierras Pampeanas.

Keywords : Rock Art; Córdoba North; Sierras Pampeanas.
