Se presenta un estudio de los petroglifos sedentes que posee la “Sala de Arqueología” de la Universidad de Oriente (Cuba), que fueron aserrados de sus sitios originales y convertidos en piezas de colección. Se aplicaron procedimientos de recopilación y consulta de referentes históricos documentales, y el análisis traceológico por microscopía digital y obtención de moldes sintéticos. Documentamos así un conjunto de nueve petroglifos, cuya información era desconocida en la literatura rupestrológica cubana. Como resultado, se reafirma su origen precolonial y se establece su similitud tipológica con los de otros sitios del oriente cubano. Se documenta que la tendencia al aserrado y extracción de petroglifos se expandió por el extremo oriental de Cuba, a partir de las acciones de Mark R. Harrington, entre 1915 y 1919. Se concluye que dichas piezas deben proceder de las regiones de Maisí y Baracoa, y que, en la actualidad, existen condiciones favorables para la identificación y localización de los sitios de procedencia, a partir del registro de cortes que hoy se posee y los levantamientos de los moldes de áreas de corte que se obtuvieron en esta investigación.
A study of the settled petroglyphs that the “Archaeology Room” of the Universidad de Oriente (Cuba), possesses and that were sawn from their original sites, to become collection pieces, is presented. We apply procedures for collecting and consulting historical documentary references, and traceological analysis by digital microscopy and obtaining synthetic molds. Thus, we document a set of nine petroglyphs, whose information was unknown in the Cuban rock literature. As a result, their precolonial origin is reaffirmed, and their typological similarity with other sites in eastern Cuba is established. It is documented that the tendency to sawn and extraction of petroglyphs, expanded through the eastern end of Cuba, from the actions of Mark R. Harrington between 1915 and 1919. It is concluded that these pieces must come from the eastern regions of Maisí and Baracoa and that, at present, there are favorable conditions for the identification and location of the provenance sites, based on the record of cuts that we have today and the surveys of the molds of cut areas that were obtained in this investigation.
