| Abstract | |
In the last few decades Cognitive Archaeology has been gaining with a fruitful interdisciplinary approach, on joining efforts with Evolutionary Psychology and Neuroscience, delivering with this debate appearance of the so called Neuroarchaeology. In our thesis we propose to analyse some rock art sites from the regions of Cidade de Pedra, Rondonópolis / MT and Pão de Açúcar/ AL from two perspectives: the analysis of the panel organizations seeking to identify the relations that exists between the painted units and the symbolic organization produced by these constructs associations. Thus we discuss issues of human cognition xviii from the articulation of the sciences of knowledge, Cognitive Archaeology and our object. Therefore we will also work with issues concerning the structures of rock art panels and the structures of human cognition, discussing also the cultural specificities and the universals behaviours.
