Zusammenfassung: | Boyd, Castañeda, and Koenig (2013) recently published a hypothesis in American Antiquity that Red Linear style rock art predates, or is contemporaneous with, the Pecos River style. While the authors present intriguing examples of over-painting at 41VV83 and 41VV612, their definition of the Red Linear style should be questioned based on its lack of diagnostic characteristics relative to the Pecos River style. The Boyd et al. report is preliminary in its findings and falls short of overturning the existing regional chronology; thus, further stylistic studies of Red Linear art are recommended. La hipótesis de que el arte rupestre de estilo lineal rojo (Red Linear) precede o es contemporáneo con el estilo Río Pecos se considera. Aunque Boyd, Castañeda y Koenig se refieren a ejemplos de repintes en 41VV83 y 41VV612, su definición del estilo Rojo Lineal debe ser cuestionada a base de sus características diagnosticas en relación al estilo Río Pecos. Los conceptos en el escrito requieren una consideración, pero están a la altura de vuelco de la cronología regional existente. Se recomiendan más estudios estilísticos del arte rojo lineal. |
