petroglyphs. Also we offer our expetise in computer presentation
of pictures and digitalized designs to anyone interested. A

I. Arte y Arte Rupestre: una discusion sobre experiencia
estetica.....10-14 page=20
The meaning of the roc art have never been defined clearly. The
ind of arguments given are still abstrac intens of an aproach to
the cultural context succes. The pseudo-interpretations are all
products of theoric anadvertenses and misunderstandings of
investigators. Studies are often based on general concepts that
are imposed over any pictoric manifestation, main believe that
the phenomenun investigators. Studies are often based on general
concepts that are imposed over any pictoric manifestation, main
believe that the phenomenun is complety understud. When it was
manifested that phosphenes where the origen of some ind of
paintings or engravings figures, it was never say that this
explanation was very far of mae clear their sense for an
specifics area and ethnia.=20
II.Rock Language: recuperation of the history of Colombian
culture..................15-27page
This text presents to the international community the first
systematic attempt to analyze the history of Colombian roc art
investigation. It explains some of the reasons why this area has
not been previously studied in universities and cultural
entities. At the same time, it not only shows the number of new
zones and recent discoveries, but also shows that those
sites continue to have sacred connotations. The study of roc art
can not limit itself only to the register and documentation of
zones and ignore the sacred aspect which still exists today in
the minds of many local inhabitants. In fact, local inhabitants
in many areas continue to mae the sacred aspect which still
exists today in the minds of many localinhabitants. In fact,
local inhabitants in many areas continue to mae offerrings and
celebrate rituals in roc art sites. It is indispensable therefor,
to incorporate associated cultural context when studying roc art
sites. The legend of Bochica, the god who civilized the Muisca,
appears to contain some of this sacred aspect; at least for some
zones where there is a history of =A8mohanes=A8. Finally, this study
summarizes attempts by investigators from Colonial times up to
the first fifty years of the 20th century. A final proposal is to
research various archives for documents and publish a version
which reveals the motives behind and the meanings of roc art in
the =A8culture of the painting tribes.=A8
III Techniques.....................................28-31page
This report demostrates methods used by GIPRI to document
petroglyph sites. After maing a frotagge, a technical
transformation process is initiated which attempts to simulate
all the characteristics of the original roc. Photography, video
scanner, and transformation of the image with touchup software,
are the laboratory processes which original roc. Photography,
video scanner, and transformation of the image with touchup
software, are the laboratory processes which
reconstruct the original design and structural conditions of the
petroglyphs.=20
IV Documentation...................................32-37page
Considering the increasing nunber of roc art zones noticed by
research groups, university students and also common people,
GIPRI developed a file cards system wich is intended to unify
documentation store standards with the purpose of creation of the
Colombian roc art inventory.=20
V Documents Roc art Researcher.Triana Miguel ...........38-41
page This text concern on the earliest investigations on Roc Art
fron the "altiplano Cundiboyacense (Cundinamarca and Boyaca). It
locates the (high plains) area of research by establishing its
cultural limits using toponimia and the places where roc art is
found. It is a wor in wich the location of the roc paintings and
engravings are thought as landmars limiting ethnical and
interethnical areas.The =A8drawings=A8 represents their
mythology, including their benefactor gods. Hieroglyphics,
ideograms are limiting ethnical and interethnical areas.The
=A8drawings=A8 represents their mythology, including their benefactor
gods. Hieroglyphics, ideograms are seen as a system that
represents remembering of a community. Those topics
allows the author to thin about frog as an element with human
features.=20
