The San Cristobal's Shullupacanga hill, forros an outstanding landscape environ­ment, it is placed on Chiquian's proximities, on the front strip of Aija. The Shullupacanga presents itself as a referent of prehispanic occupations with relevant characteristics for populational, funerary and symbolic studies. This site is placed on the middle and high hill's slope. Even though researchers have recovered infor­mation about an associated pictographs cemetery, there are no related studies from the region; therefore the information is not suitable for generalization. The follo­ wing article widely depicts the recovered data and, furthermore, proposes a debate regarding the implications that this kind of information could bring in order to understand the social relations which formally express this activities on the landscape.
