Two types of incised tabular sandstone rocks were recovered from two spatially and temporally distinct areas within the large petroglyph/open camp site of Boca de Potrerillos in the northeastern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon. Seventeen stones from Coconos, a subarea ofthe site that probably dates to about 5000 BP, are engraved with broad, deep linear and curvilinear designs made by pecking and smoothing of grooves. A recurring motif is an apparent vulvaform that is sometimes incorporated into more complex designs. Lorna San Pedro, a subarea of the site that dates between 230and 950 radiocarbon years ago, produced nine scratched pebbles, all bearing simple linear cross-hatching. Differences between the iconography of the portable art and that of the thousands ofpetroglyphs may be attributed to differences between public and private symbolic systems
