Arte mobiliar con tradición rupestre en el sur del Perú

Resumen

The author describes four types of mobiliary art resembling rock art traditions in southern Peru. He argues for a strong nexus between the two art forms and, by providing reliable dating for some of the portable objects, arrives at the conclusion that some of the rock art conventions existed for a much longer period than had been assumed. At least the portable art has been in use from about 7000 years BP to just before the Inca Empire. Paint brushes with pigment have been recovered at some of the sites. The available evidence is summarized and a synthesis of the region's rock art is offered.
