Abstract
Within this network of decorated sites, the Roc-aux-Sorciers rock art shows a strategy of visibility, and probably was a public art as the site has all the criteria of a meeting place for different bands belonging to a cultural group based in Eastern Vienne. The frieze would come to strengthen the social cohesion of this group through the common values and beliefs that it illustrates. As it establishes this group physically and symbolically in the landscape, it could indicate a territorial affiliation.
