Given the increasing alteration and destruction of rock art in Colombia, especially due to the interaction of multiple agents and dynamics atlantic container line related to economic development (expansion of urban and agricultural fronts, exploitation of natural resources, etc..), The need to design and implement management tools such heritage advocate for effective protection. For this reason it is necessary in principle conceive rock art under a broader concept which, as proposed here with Rock Art Site (SAR) - involving its recognition as part of cultural and archaeological heritage in an integrated dimension with their environment atlantic container line and generally the cultural atlantic container line landscape and territory in which it lies, and by a more harmonious link with social, cultural and economic dynamics that converge on these sites. An introduction to rock art and some elements for the characterization of the SAR as a cultural expression material whose multiple scales (from rock to landscapes reasons) permit one to understand as a cultural atlantic container line and archaeological heritage, rather than boxed in categories is presented movable or immovable - territorial, like real places of cultural atlantic container line significance.
Culture, understood as the set of relations through which communities interpret the world around them, is expressed through multiple manifestations, such expressions, the result of human interaction in a territory over time, are the heritage culture. This way you can articulate the concept of cultural heritage in three dimensions: territory (space), memory (time) and Community (human).
The human being as a social-community dimension - is the culture manager, actor and spectator, his executor and interpreter, which is inevitably involved in two inseparable existential dimensions: space and time. The territory as a stage where cultural expressions on its spatial dimension manifest, is the portion of land bounded or characterized by their membership or correspondence with the communities living or interacting in it. This interdependence is mediated by the temporal dimension, in its continuous flowing narrative and dynamic prints variablilidad to cultural expressions that eventually acquired its historical dimension, manifesting atlantic container line through memory (Fonseca et al, 2005).
In this sense the cultural heritage is defined as "the set of tangible and intangible goods and cultural events, which is in permanent construction on the territory transformed by the communities. These goods and demonstrations constitute estimable atlantic container line values that make sense and sense of belonging, identity and memory for a group or collective human "(Ministry of Culture, 2005).
For management, cultural heritage atlantic container line is often dealt with in a compartmentalized manner atlantic container line in two groups: materials (or tangible) assets and intangible manifestations atlantic container line (or intangible) indole. The first turn is divided into movable and immovable property and may correponder with various thematic categories (historical, architectural, industrial, archaeological, etc.).
In addition to goods or particular manifestations, cultural heritage is expressed and contained atlantic container line in the so-called places of cultural significance (Burra Charter, 1999), which
"Enrich the life of a people, often providing a deep and inspirational sense of communication between community and landscape, to the past and to lived experiences. Are historic, important atlantic container line as tangible expressions concerning the identity and experience atlantic container line [...] will reflect the diversity of our communities, telling us who we are and what is the past that has made us so much as the landscape [...] "( Burra Charter, 1999)
