Abstract
espanolEn este trabajo se evaluan las reglas de composicion que vinculan motivos rupestres y soportes rocosos, comparando para ello un total de 1.273 motivos y 76 tipos de motivos (TM) registrados en 33 sitios de dos localidades arqueologicas de la region centro-sur de Patagonia (Argentina). Los analisis demuestran que: a) los emplazamientos de los motivos en los soportes rocosos no siguen reglas claras de composicion visual y b) del total de TM, las dos localidades comparten solo 14, lo cual indicaria la existencia de bajos niveles de comunicacion visual entre ambas. Esto es discutido en funcion de diferentes formas de integracion de cada localidad dentro de circuitos mayores de movilidad e intercambio de informacion a escala regional. A su vez, los 14 TM compartidos representan mas del 60% de la produccion rupestre de cada una, lo cual implica un claro enfasis de seleccion de determinadas porciones del repertorio para la produccion artistica de cada localidad. Se argumenta entonces que la comunicacion visual generada por cazadores-recolectores en ambas localidades habria sido mas fluida y menos reglada que lo esperado en terminos generales de las teorias de comunicacion, mas acorde con un bajo grado de control social caracteristico de estas sociedades.
