The stylistic relations between all the sites located en both sides of the Cordillera de los Andes permits their inclusión in the same cultural and temporal unit related to the Grecas style o TAGC, and specially the Ámbito Boscoso Lacustre modality of the hunther gatherers's of the late Holocene in Patagonia.
