Abstract

This work presents the results of research on the state of conservation of rock art from the archaeological sites of the National Park of Catimbau in Pernambuco. This research was carried out from the macroscopic survey of the factors and agents of degradation and alteration acting on the rock art of the 55 sites in the Park. Based on the understanding that the conservation of cave paintings and engravings can only be understood in an interdependent manner, that is, only through knowledge of the object (rock art - techniques and properties) and the environment (support and interaction agents), they were built protocols to identify the evolution of agents that are harmful to the rock heritage in this area. In this first part of the project, the indicators of change, the external aspects of the support were considered: patinas, crusts, surface deposits (salts, microorganisms, excrement, stains, insect nests); the loss, ruptures or fissure of the support (scaling, fracture, disintegration, debonding); anthropic interventions (graphite, graffiti, incisions, intentional fires). In this preliminary synthesis of the pathologies that affect the rupestrian panels, it was observed that the degradation indicators are those of physical and chemical origin from the formation of the rock and are linked to the formation of the support and the environmental environment. Indirect anthropic agents such as deforestation and hunting act to worsen the situation.
