Abstract
In order to understand the relationship between rock art sites and rock art motifs in Peru’s Department of Ica, this essay proposes the definition of a descriptive type. Some of the petroglyphs belonging to this type can be compared to representations on portable objects from the later portion of the Early Horizon and the beginning of the Early Intermediate Period.
