Abstract
La Proveedora is an impressive archaeological site in the Sonoran Desert. The site has evidence of long-term human occupation and is represented by varied and extensive cultural remains, including: structures; lithics; ceramics; and shell artifacts. These date from between circa 2100 BC and up to the sixteenth century. However, the most prominent features at the site consist of thousands of petroglyphs on its hillsides. Three descriptive categories of rock art analysis will be discussed and the existence of a particular style in the creation of petroglyphs will be suggested. As will be discussed below, the combination of rock art designs and techniques allows us to propose what I call the “Caborca Style.” This proposal makes sense within the framework of the regional cultural history of the Sonoran Desert, in which petroglyphs are only one cultural component involved in the development of these societies.
