This book deals with the documentation and interpretation of the
rock sites located in La Mancha center (Spain), from the detailed
study of the symbols that have been engraved in the rock. These
sites, from historical times, can provide valuable information for
the study of the mentalities and beliefs of the popular classes
during the Modern Age, strongly influenced by the atmosphere
created after the Counter-Reformation. Crosses, calvaries, orbs,
human and animal representations, letters, cup-marks and game
boards make up an authentic symbolic universe, of clear Christian
roots, whose understanding is possible to achieve even though it
requires collaboration between multiple fields of knowledge such as
archaeology, theology, numismatics, heraldry, architecture,
sculpture, painting... Unfortunately, researchers have paid scant
attention to the issue at hand, assuming paradigms that from our
point of view should be reviewed, such as the authorship of the
petroglyphs or their chrono-cultural affiliation. The study of the
rock formations located in La Mancha center can shed light on these
and other subjects, providing a good starting point in order to
improve the documentation and interpretation of historical rock
engravings in other parts of the world.
