GILARDENGHI, Ezequiel. Los nenes con los nenes, las nenas con las nenas: relaciones de género en el arte rupestre del sitio Los Cerrillos, Valle Calchaquí Norte (Pcia. de Salta, Argentina). Zaranda ideas [online]. 2010, vol.6, pp.71-90. ISSN 1853-1296.

In the last decades, gender archaeology has gained increasing importance in world archaeology (see Gero and Conkey 1991; Brumfield 1996; Escoriza Mateu 2002; among others). Nonetheless, in our country this topic has been scarcely explored. In this paper, I seek to analyze the way gender relations were represented in a particular site of the Northern Calchaqui Valley during the Late Period -900/1470 DC- (Tarragó 1974). Through the study of the petroglyphs found in Los Cerrillos site, and centering in the analysis of anthropomorphic representations, I aim to explore the way gender relations were produced and reproduced through the narrative that Los Cerrillos rock art offered. I conclude that the male and female representations are quantitatively different, expressing an explicit discourse through which gender differences were highlighted.
