Since the Upper Palaeolithic, the production and utilisation of images have been a characteristic of human social organisation. The images produced serve the function of representing elements of a reality that must be identifiable by those receiving the image. This prompts the question of what the images represent or what they are intended to convey. However, rather than seeking to comprehend the image in relation to a repository of other similar images, the objective is to reintegrate it into the socio-cultural milieu in which and for which it was created, by comparing it with the archaeological evidence and social practices associated with it. The objective is to ascertain whether there is a correlation between the images and the contexts in which they were created. While iconographic analyses are largely confined to religious, ritual and political practices, the term 'socio-cultural practices' allows us to embrace a broader spectrum of activities. The term "practice" is used to describe the application of a specific activity by individuals within a given social context. The implication is that the activity is carried out in a structured and defined manner. A practice, regardless of its field of application, is inherently transient. In past societies where alphabetic writing was employed, texts may occasionally describe certain types of practice, but others are never mentioned.
