Una revisión del Arte Rupestre Atlántico desde la arqueología de género

Keywords: Atlantic Rock Art, gender, sex, androcentrism, gender archaeology

Abstract

The aim of this work is to highlight the need to link gender and feminist archaeology to research on rock art in the northwestern peninsula. To do this, we carried out a review of the history of the investigations of the Atlantic Rock Art (ARA), evidencing the androcentric discourse present in many of the works done so far; and, on the other hand, we expose the results of the analysis of naturalistic figures (anthropomorphs and animals) present on surfaces of the Galician southwest and Portuguese north. Thus, this study has served to illustrate that the over-representation of the male gender in research on ARA was not due to empirical reasons, and that indeterminacy prevails when representing this type of motif in the northwest Iberian.
