This paper introduces a new art style, Singa Transitional, found painted onto a mountainside near the modern town of Singa in the north of Huánuco, Peru. This style was discovered during a recent regional survey of rock art in the Huánuco region that resulted in the documentation of paintings at more than 20 sites, the identification of their chronological contexts and an analysis of the resulting data for trends in changing social practices over nine millennia. I explore how the style emerged from both regional artistic trends in the medium and broader patterns evident in Andean material culture from multiple media at the time of its creation. I argue that the presence of Singa Transitional demonstrates that local peoples were engaged in broader social trends unfolding during the transition between the Early Horizon (800–200 bc) and the Early Intermediate Period (ad 0–800) in Peru. I propose that rock art placed in prominent places was considered saywa, a type of landscape feature that marked boundaries in and movement through landscapes. Singa Transitional saywas served to advertise the connection between local Andean people and their land and was a medium through which social changes were contested in the Andes.

Singa Transitional：岩石艺术 Saywas 在秘鲁瓦努科标记身份和社会化景观的边界

本文介绍了一种新的艺术风格，即 Singa Transitional，发现于秘鲁瓦努科北部现代小镇 Singa 附近的山坡上。这种风格是在最近对瓦努科地区的岩画进行的区域调查中发现的，该调查记录了 20 多个地点的绘画，确定了它们的时间背景，并分析了所产生的数据，以了解超过 9 年的社会实践变化趋势。千年。我探讨了这种风格是如何从媒体中的区域艺术趋势和安第斯物质文化在其创作时从多种媒体中明显看出的更广泛模式中出现的。我认为 Singa Transitional 的存在表明当地人民参与了在早期地平线（800-200公元前) 和早期中期 (广告0–800) 在秘鲁。我建议考虑放置在显眼位置的岩画赛瓦, 一种景观特征，在景观中标记边界并在景观中移动。新加过渡说是用于宣传当地安第斯人与其土地之间的联系，并且是安第斯山脉社会变革的一种媒介。
