Descripción
Sumario:The presence of petroglyphs, statue-menhirs and warrior statues in northwestern Iberia in Late Prehistory (2250/2150 BC-AD 100) prompted the emergence of semiotic ideologies which created armed landscapes. This paper contextualizes these iconographies and suggests relationships amongst them. By comparing them we may gain a greater understanding not only of the type of personages and ways of being-in-the-world they contributed to producing in their respective contexts, but also of their persistence over time and of the long-term connections between them.
