New evidence of rock art at the site Cueva de Cristóbal in the La Matadería Massif, between Sierras de Aguilar and Alta, Jujuy Puna (Argentina) (Fig. 1) are presented in this work. This art belongs to the Stylistic Group B (GEB) identified by Aschero (1979) and Aschero et al. (1991) for the nearby Quebrada de Inca Cueva. It includes figurative and non-figurative motifs. Among the first are isolated, grouped or articulated anthropomorphic figures, camelids and undetermined zoomorphs, while the second shows dots, pectiniform pictures and segmented traces, wide, isolated dashes and dashed and wavy lines (Aschero et al. 1991). Anthropomorphs are outstanding in this stylistic group since there are no previous correlates in the area.
