In this chapter we discuss the painted hunting scenes identified in the north-west of Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, and dated to ca. 9400–6800 bp . We analyze the tonal groups, superimpositions, patterns of the designs of zoo and anthropomorphic figures, composition of the scenes, their location on the panels and their micro-stratigraphy. With this information we were able to identify that the earliest hunting scenes are only present in Cueva de Las Manos, while later tonal series have a wider spatial dispersion, which allows us to link Cueva de Las Manos with Cerro Casa de Piedra as part of a seasonal mobility circuit between the highlands and the steppe.
