Abstract
In this paper we present and interpret a group of rock art motifs found in the north of the Hualfin valley, Catamarca, Argentina. First of all the rock engravings are placed in the landscape, and is mentioned the major archaeological sites in the valley, being Hualfín Inka the most important archaeological site for Inca times. We present a preliminary analysis of the rock art along with the study of its functionality and its integration into the regional dynamic. Using the ancient rock art motifs found in Northwest Argentina and northern Chile and their associated interpretations, the engravings are located chronologically during the Regional Development period and probably during Inca occupation.
