Cueva de las Manos is a cave located in the province of Santa Cruz, Argentina, 163 km (101 mi) south of the town of Perito Moreno. It is named for the hundreds of hand paintings stenciled into multiple collages on the rock walls. The art in the cave dates back as early as 13,000 to 9,000 years ago, to the Archaic Period of South American history, during the Paleolithic era; more specifically, during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene periods. Several waves of people occupied the cave over time as evidenced by some of the early artwork that was carbon-dated to ca. 9300 BP. The age of the paintings was calculated from the remains of bone-made pipes used for spraying the paint on the wall of the cave to create the stenciled artwork of the hand collages. According to Fanning et al., it is "the best material evidence of early hunter gatherer groups in South America".
