- Soy arqueóloga especializada en el estudio del arte rupestre.
- Obtuve mis títulos de Licenciada y Doctora en la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA, Argentina). He trabajado en diversas regiones de Argentina (Noroeste, Centro-oeste y Patagonia), analizando el arte rupestre de múltiples tipos de sociedades (agro-pastoriles, con agricultura de baja escala y cazadoras-recolectoras).
- Desde mi doctorado, he focalizado mis estudios en el norte del Neuquén (Patagonia). Allí investigo los roles desempeñados por el arte rupestre durante el poblamiento del noroeste de Patagonia y los potenciales tipos de información comunicados mediante esta evidencia por sociedades móviles.
- Aplico un enfoque comparativo de base biogeográfica para conectar la discusión sobre la circulación de información y la interacción social con la estructura del paisaje del noroeste de Patagonia y sus variaciones a través del tiempo.
- Los principales temas y métodos que desarrollo en mis investigaciones son: * Caracterización cualitativa y cuantitativa sistemática de regiones con arte rupestre * Contextualización integral de repertorios regionales de arte rupestre * Comparación de la variabilidad rupestre de diversas regiones del norte del Neuquén (Patagonia) * Interacción social en los Andes del sur (Argentina-Chile) * Arte rupestre y Arqueometría * Arte rupestre y Patrimonio.
- Asimismo, interactúo con colegas de otros países en proyectos comparativos sobre ambientes desérticos de los continentes del sur.
- También colaboro como editora en una revista científica (revista Arqueología) editada por la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires.

PhD. I’m an archaeologist from the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina) specialized in the study of rock art. I have worked in different regions of Argentina but I’m currently doing research mainly regarding the roles rock art played during the peopling of northern Patagonia within prehistoric mobile societies. I understand rock art as a visual communication media for information exchange among multiple spatial and temporal scales. I apply a biogeographical approach that allows to connect the discussion of information exchange and social interaction strategies with the structure of the Patagonian landscape and its variation through time. The main issues that I'm currently working on include: * Systematic characterization (cuantitative & cualitative) of rock art regions * Holistic contextualization of regional rock art repertoires * Inter-regional variability of rock art repertoires from northern Neuquén (Patagonia) * Social interaction across the Andes (Argentina-Chile) * Rock art & Archaeometry * Rock art & Heritage. Also, I'm involved in comparative projects related to desert environments from the southern continents and I work as an editor for an Argentinian scientific journal (journal Arqueología) edited by the University of Buenos Aires.

This paper presents the initial results of the archaeological analysis of rock art from Huenul
Cave 1 (CH1) (Neuquén, Patagonia, Argentina). The site’s robust chronostratigraphic sequence
frames human occupations between 12,000-300 calibrated years BP. The paper classifies
rock art motifs on the basis of several variables and the available archaeometric data, including
recently obtained radiocarbon dating by AMS of some images. It also proposes a production
sequence for the motifs by connecting temporal data from other proxies to assign a chronology to the different moments of rock art production. These results are assessed in conjunction with
other evidence found at CH1, which provides independent but complementary data regarding
the history of its use. This integration indicates that visual communication of information,
which took the form of rock art, played a fundamental –yet versatile– role in the occupational
history of the site and the region. While the occupation of CH1 was neither intense nor
continuous during the Holocene, rock art was a key placemaking device that shaped CH1 as a
“persistent place” in the social geography of human groups in northern Patagonia.
potencial del enfoque para modelar los roles desempeñados y tipos de información transmitidos por el arte rupestre en las dinámicas comunicacionales que los grupos móviles del noroeste de Patagonia plasmaron en el paisaje durante el Holoceno.
A biogeographic-based multiscale perspective for the systematic archaeological study of visual communication and information exchange processes through rock art is presented. Operational definitions of the conceptual components of the approach (rock art, human biogeography,
multiscalarity) are provided. It also discusses the role of different analytical elements and frameworks (biogeographic models, internodal studies, social geography) that work as starting points and
structuring axes of research questions on these processes in the past. Additionally, geographical, temporal and socio-demographic aspects of past human organization of particular interest to this proposal are also summarized. We review the multiscale results obtained from their application in northern Neuquén in order to discuss the possibilities of the approach for modeling the roles and information types transmitted through rock art within the communicational dynamics that mobile
groups of northwestern Patagonia deployed over the landscape during the Holocene.
This issue of Estudios Atacameños presents the results of the symposium referred to in the title of this Introduction. The symposium took place on October 8, 2015 in the city of Concepción during the XX National Conference of Chilean Archaeology, and was organized by the Universidad de Concepción Anthropology Program and the Chilean Archaeology Society. On that occasion, 16 papers were presented by more than 30 researchers from Chile, Argentina and the United States. Axel Nielsen provided comments at the end of the symposium.

trabajo de documentación realizado en 1955 por Nicolás Sánchez-Albornoz y publicado en 1958. Varios años después, en 1996, nuestro equipo visitó por primera vez el sitio para realizar una documentación fotográfica inicial de las pinturas del paredón, evaluar el estado de conservación del soporte y de las pinturas, además de tomar algunas micro-muestras de estas últimas que fueron posteriormente procesadas en el Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) (Ottawa). Recientemente, en marzo de 2015, se reanudó su documentación ante la solicitud de la Municipalidad de El Bolsón. En esta ocasión se diseñó la planta general del sitio y se finalizó el relevamiento de las pinturas que fueron procesadas en el terreno y en el laboratorio con el software Dstretch-ImageJ (DecorrelationStretch). Las mismas se asignan, al igual que los restantes sitios del bosque del noroeste de Patagonia, al denominado Estilo de Grecas o Tendencia Abstracta Geométrica Compleja (TAGC) y a la Modalidad del Ámbito Lacustre Boscoso (MALB). En particular, GPA sobresale por la alta frecuencia de “enmarcados”, constituyendo el sitio con mayor concentración de este tipo de motivos de toda la región que, además, guardan una gran semejanza con las placas grabadas, objetos del arte mobiliar típicos de Patagonia septentrional.
The congress will cover a range of topics relevant to rock art, archaeology, culture and society, from its first appearance to current forms. During five days, leading experts in the field, researchers along with young scholars and enthusiasts, will gather and present the latest results and studies on rock art, rupestrian archaeology and other relevant research fields on Paleolithic and Post-Paleolithic art from all over the world.
The complete list of the 40 sessions approved by the scientific committee is available here and on the website: www.ccsp.it.

En el curso se abordarán distintas aproximaciones teóricas y metodológicas a las representaciones rupestres así como también prácticas relacionadas a la conservación y la gestión.

Asimismo y enfatizando la variabilidad espacial de las manifestaciones rupestres estudiadas, interesa discutir los roles adoptados por el arte rupestre en distintas escalas espaciales, entendiendo que éste puede cumplir varios papeles simultáneamente y que los mismos pueden cambiar de acuerdo a la escala considerada.
De modo más general, a partir de este estudio de las representaciones rupestres del noreste de San Juan, se busca avanzar en el conocimiento de las sociedades agroalfareras que habitaron el centro-oeste argentino en momentos prehispánicos tardíos.
