The aim of this work is to analyze Late Prehistoric graphical markers, comprising paintings, engravings, Megalithic elements, and other portable objects. All of them can be described as post-paleolithic or Schematic Art over various surfaces. The chosen area, the inland region of the Tajo inner basin (Spain), was especially appealing for several reasons, such as the lack of scholarship on the subject, the lack of information on the geographical location of the archaeological sites, and the extended ignorance about the sites' materials and relationships. The methodology is based on systematic registration of all archaeological sites. This is studied from an Archaeology Landscape perspective through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis. It tests geographical markers according to their strategic location (pre-eminence and visibility) and their relationship with other funerary, habitable and resources sites. This has allowed parietal surfaces (megaliths, caves, shelters) and mobile pieces to be given coordinate position for the first time in the region, which has demonstrated abundant and complex prehistoric graphical markers. The results achieved allow the extrapolation of settlement models, explained in chapter VI. Generally, shelters divide the territory by geographical units where the settlers have access to a variety of economic resources and transit networks. SPANISH DESCRIPTION: El objetivo de este trabajo es el estudio de los marcadores graficos de la Prehistoria Reciente, entre los que se incluyen pinturas, grabados, elementos megaliticos y elementos mobiliares que responden a la descripcion de Arte Esquematico o Postpaleolitico sobre diferentes soportes. Se eligio como zona de estudio la cuenca interior del Tajo a su paso por las provincias interiores (Espana), de especial interes por su carencia de valoraciones conjuntas y desde luego, por la escasa informacion acerca del posicionamiento geografico de estos yacimientos y el desconocimiento bastante generalizado de sus contenidos y relaciones contextuales. El metodo de trabajo se ha fundamentado en la recogida sistematica de todos los yacimientos registrados. El estudio se ha llevado a cabo con nuevas tecnologias como los Sistemas de Informacion Geografica (SIG), desde una perspectiva de la Arqueologia del Paisaje. Se han efectuado diversos analisis establecidos sobre su posicion estrategica (preeminencia y visibilidad) y su relacion con otros yacimientos de caracter funerario, habitacional y recursos de explotacion. Esto ha permitido que los soportes parietales (abrigos, cuevas y megalitos), asi como piezas mobiliares, se hayan georreferenciado por primera vez en la region, dando muestras de la abundancia y complejidad de estas grafias prehistoricas. Los resultados nos han permitido extrapolar modelos de implantacion en el territorio, expuestos en el capitulo VI. En general, existe una tendencia a delimitar el territorio en unidades geograficas caracterizadas, en las que las sociedades productoras tienen acceso a una variedad de recursos economicos y redes de transito.
