españEW APPROACHES TO THE ROCK ART OF FUEGO-PATAGONIA, CHILE: CHARACTERIZATION AND COMPARISON OF THE SITES IN THE CONTINENT AND THE CHANNELS OF EXTREME SOUTHol

Abstract

The present work presents the results obtained from 7 rock art sites present in the area of Southern Patagonia, Chile; 4 in the continent and 3 in the channels, to which the data of 44 deposits from different bibliographical sources were integrated. Based on the quantitative and statistical analysis carried out on three different scales composed by the motif (micro), the panel (meso) and the site (macro), the aim is to deepen, for the first time, in to the comparison of the contexts present in the channels and the continent of the Magallanes region, in order to understand the possible information exchange and visual codes between the different groups that inhabited that region.
