Summary: The dating of rock art is one of the main inherent problems of the research of this type of archaeological evidence. This task is not, however, devoid of difficulties, stylistic comparison being the only available method to accomplished it in countless occasions. In the Côa Valley, we do not discard stylistic comparison, such a method being used as an essential complement of a wider strategy that we will describe in this text. This strategy involves the use of multivariante statistics and archaeological and geoarchaeological evidence that was obtained during the research carried out in the region. The paper closes with the characterization of each of the graphic phase identified in the Côa Valley by the application of our strategy and with a demonstration, with several examples, of the importance of rock art chronocultural attribution in other problematics of the research.

Esta tarefa não é, no entanto, isenta de dificuldades, sendo a comparação estilística o único método possível para a sua prossecução em numerosas situações. No Vale do Côa, não descartamos a comparação estilística, sendo este método utilizado como complemento essencial de uma estratégia que apresentaremos neste texto. Esta estratégia passa pela utilização da estatística multivariante e de evidências arqueológicas e geoarqueológicas obtidas no decurso da investigação levada a cabo na região. No final do trabalho caraterizaremos cada uma das fases gráficas identificadas no Vale do Côa com recurso a essa estratégia e ilustraremos, com alguns exemplos, a importância da atribuição cronocultural da arte rupestre em outras problemáticas da investigação.Associação dos Arqueólogos Portugueses / Fundação Côa-ParqueRepositório da Universidade de LisboaSantos, André TomásBarbosa, António FernandoLuís, LuísSilvestre, MarceloAubry, Thierry2021-12-30T08:47:47Z20212021-01-01T00:00:00Zbook partinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/50655engSantos, A.
