Throughout almost forty years of research on Rock Art in Brazil, many studies have already contributed to the current scenario of well-established regional traditions. However, concerning what is known as geometric elements, initially included in the generic Geometric Tradition, there are still many aspects to be discussed. These nonfigurative elements cover all the reasons that were not assigned into the other existing traditions in the Brazilian Northeast and became a single category of analysis that, by now, does not reach the symbolic complexity imbricated in the aforementioned motifs. Dealing with this panorama, this mastership thesis analyzed the geometric signs starting from the notion of grammar, which understands the rupestrian records as a symbolically constructed social communication. Following an alternative model to traditional theoretical-methodological perspectives, we aimed a typological identification of the signs and their symbolic associations. In order to accomplish this, the research used as corpus the geometric paintings present in the four rock art sites that form the Serra das Paridas Archaeological Complex, located in the city of Lençóis, Chapada Diamantina, Bahia. In this sense, we used the technical detailing based on the identification of the traces, colors, shapes and graphical compositions of the paintings, to investigate the existence of possible graphic repertoires that point out the existence of a symbolic grammar of the signs.
