Resumo

This paper deals with interpreting rock-carvings with podomorphic motives in Galicia (Spain). Some authors date these motives in the Iron Age, stating that they are linked with celtic rituals of royal inauguration. Reviewing this point of view and the methods used to arrive to that conclusion, the authoress proposes a method for setting the bases of archaeological and cultural study of these motives. She presents also ways of interpretation based on the very motives.
