In a previous paper (Scheinsohn and Szumik 2007) patterns of spatial distribution of archaeological materials were identiied in Northwestern Patagonia in order to test the existence of diferent populations  at  the  forest  and  the  steppe  of  Late  Holocene  NW  Patagonia  (see Casamiquela 1965, Albornoz and Cuneo 2000, Hajduk et al. 2004). In that occasion, results did not hold any diference but  problems in  sampling  and  in  codiication  were found.  In  this  paper we  review that work focusing on rock art (a line of evidence which showed the best results in previous work), widening the sample and revising codiication, changing number, clustering and states of  characters.  As  in  the  previous  work,  patterns  obtained  do  not  support  any  diferences in  terms  of  environmental  criteria  but  other  interpretations  are  ofered  and  discussed.
