Casa de Piedra de Roselló (CP) is an archaeological site with rock art located on southwestern Chubut in an ecotonal forest-steppe area, a few kilometers away from the Republic of Chile’ s international border. The site consists of a main cave (CP1) and two other adjacent smaller shelters (CP2 and CP3), located at an upper elevation. Excavations at CP1 have provided abundant archaeological material from nine stratigraphic levels with chronologies that range from ca. 9,000 years calibrated AP to the 20th century. CP’s rock art accounts for types of motifs assignable to the three great periods of the Holocene, as well as to recent historical moments. This paper presents the analysis and interpretations of the historical inscriptions from 19th and 20th centuries. The superimpositions of historical motifs over pre-Hispanic rock art representations warn about the diachronic transcendence of this space and its possible reappropriation and resignification, and in turn, constitute a line of evidence that is approached from a microhistorical approach.
