NEW RECORD OF ROCK ART IN MOUNTAIN PASSES: PAREDÓN LUISA (COCHAMÓ, REGIÓN DE LOS LAGOS, CHILE)

Abstract

The aim of this note is to report about a new record of rock art, near Lago Vidal Gormaz, municipality of Cochamó, Los Lagos Region, Chile. The Paredón Luisa site presents a rock shelter where red abstract paintings were identified. After comparing iconographic and spatial attributes of the site with the archaeological evidence of the region, we propose a late chronology and a relationship with other contexts from the mountain forests that have already been reported in the zone.
