Résumé en anglais

The area immediately north of San Francisco (also known as: Hacienda San Jose de Chinga Caliente, Hacienda La Carlina or Chingacaliente), Cundinamarca, Colombia, contains pecked petroglyphs and at least one painted red pictograph. Analysis of the three known rock art sites in the San Miguel region (vereda) shows a marked difference in motif style and application technique indicating a possible different cultural origin in this transitional area for petroglyphs emphasizing an anthropomorphic theme when compared to the completely geometric red pictograph. Rock artists for this area may have been the Muisca, the Panche, or earlier inhabitants of the area.
