ABSTRACT
As a social and cultural product, rock art reflects the knowledge-power system predominant in each society and is a conservative and transforming agent of that system. 1 In short, we are not talking about a spontaneous expression of the human but a specific expression of social work (Cruz Berrocal 2004: 45). As a cultural and social product, it is determined by a pattern of the rationality of the sociocultural formation it is part of (Criado Boado 1993). Rock art is a formal and therefore a spatial product, although its spatial dimension has to do with two aspects: one related to the way landscape is built, a topic that has already been raised by many authors, especially during the past two decades within the scope of landscape archaeology, and another that deals with the way space is shown and with the way society expects to be portrayed in the panels. This chapter deals with both aspects of landscape, although we will focus on the inner space of the panel.
