Our main objective is to reassess the agency of rock art during the transitional process to food production in Antofagasta de la S... Was rock art a way in which past societies expressed changes in other aspects of their life? Or was it (through its planning, production and consumption) an active and necessary element of these change processes? In this paper we use the concept of entanglement as a tool for understanding the networks of rela- tionships of which rock art, as a materiality, was part.
