Resumen
LOPEZ, Laura y RECALDE, Andrea. Rock art in colonial context. Preliminary analysis of the Alero Estancia Guayascate site, north of Córdoba (Argentina). Mem. am. [online]. 2022, vol.30, n.1, pp.6-23. Epub 29-Jun-2022. ISSN 1851-3751. http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/mace.v30i1.10436.
This paper attempts to contextualize pre-Hispanic rock art in the north of Córdoba, while it analyzes its presence within the framework of a colonial institution (encomienda). In this sense, the study of the Alero Estancia Guayascate archaeological site may reveal aspects related to the indigenous-colonial situation, while involving groups of different ethnic origins: the indigenous residents of Guayascate, the indigenous populations introduced as a result of the encomienda and the merced de tierras and the Spaniards in charge of them. Rock art is understood as a marker of identity shared by indigenous groups in the north of Córdoba. Therefore, the interruption both in space and in daily life of foreign groups in Guayascate could imply a loss of the original meaning in the execution of the rock art due to the fact that the interventions in the site did not continue.
