Abstract

With the intention of examining the value of a hypothesis about the cultural development of the archaeological site of Checta, the author undertook a study of this site through the visual analysis of the figurative images of its petroglyphs, which constitute the main cultural evidence of this site. Checta is one of the most famous rock art sites of Peru, and since its rediscovery in 1925 the site had not been included with consistency in the cultural assemblage of ancient Andean societies. This article revisits the history of this remarkable site, proposing its inclusion in the cultural context of the most complex and early civilisations of the central coast of Peru.
