Abstract

As a part of space use studies in La Primavera locality, Central Deseado Massif (Santa Cruz, Argentina), more than 50 rock piles were registered in systematic surveys. An initial classification was done considering their shape and sizes. This article is focused in one of the defined classes. Contextual information is given and a visibility GIS analysis is performed with the location of the structures as the point of view. The emerged patterns suggest the existence of a visual organization of space that relates the stone structures scattered in the landscape.
