Identidade dos Grupos Pré-históricos de Sobradinho - BA

Abstract

The article is a synthesis of the thesis about attributes of identity of pre-historical Groups of Sobradinho – BA, region located in Sub-middle San Francisco River. It recognizes attributes of pre-historical identities by the identification of scenographic, thematic and technical patterns in rock pictures. The identification of a recognizing and scenographic pattern, similar to the rock pictures groups in the State of Goiás and all extension of San Francisco River Valley, suggests that most part of the pictures painted on rocks was made by pre-historical groups who occupied the Sub-middle São Francisco River Valley from the end of late Pleistocene until recent periods of the Holocene. The group of rock pictures of dominant themes present different technicalthematic patterns that are the base to identify the Olho D’água style, with more than 9.000 years BP, São Gonçalo, between 9.000 and 6.790 years BP and Brejo de Dentro, less than 6.790 years BP.
