ABSTRACT
This chapter studies the dynamics involved in the construction of social memory during the Late Pre-Hispanic period (ca. 400–1550 bce) in Cerro Colorado, in the central region of Argentina. In this framework, rock art conformed one of the material and symbolic expressions from which both memory and history were constructed, affirmed, and redefined by the experiences lived at different levels of social interaction. The panels were constructions resulting from different intervention events, in which the groups reinforced and agreed upon the meaning of past experiences in the definition of current practices, based on a permanent dialogue that implied the execution and observation of the rock art motifs along time.
