Se presenta un análisis de las similitudes y diferencias entre los sitios cubanos que presentan diseños pictóricos de círculos concéntricos. Aplicamos el coeficiente de similitud de Gower como algoritmo de agrupamiento a partir de una matriz de correlación con un conjunto sólido de variables mixtas. Documentamos, así, la existencia de grupos de individuos (sitios) similares y disímiles entre sí, definiéndose aquellos rasgos que representan endemismos. Como resultado del procedimiento, se obtuvo un dendrograma con una estructura que revela cánones regionales que se acercan de forma significativa a los conceptos contemporáneos de regionalización del arte rupestre nacional. Se concluye que se produjo un proceso de simplificación de los diseños de círculos concéntricos hacia el este del país, con tendencia hacia la reducción de la cantidad de diseños por sitios y de estos por regiones, así como de la cantidad de círculos en las series y de su complejidad cromatográfica. Esto es coherente con el análisis sobre el rol de estos diseños en las sociedades ejecutoras y los procesos de reproducción, filiación, parentesco y vecindad en la producción de arte rupestre.
We face an analysis of the similarities and differences between Cuban sites that present pictorial designs of concentric circles. We apply the Gower similarity coefficient as a clustering algorithm from a correlation matrix with a solid set of mixed variables; We thus document the existence of groups of individuals (sites) similar and dissimilar to each other, defining those traits that represent endemisms. Resulting from the procedure, a dendrogram was obtained with a structure that reveals regional canons that are significantly close to contemporary concepts of regionalization of national rock art. We conclude that in our conditions there was a process of simplification of the designs of concentric circles towards the east of the country, with a general trend towards reducing the number of designs by sites and these by regions, as well as a reduction in the number of circles in the series and their chromatographic complexity; which is coherent with the analysis made on the role of these designs, in the executing societies and the processes of reproduction, filiation, kinship, and neighborhood in the production of rock art.
