The problematic of research concerns the general direction that your research will take.
The Problematic as questions:
• 1- To what extent the ritual acts performed by these animals or anthropo-zoomorphic beings correspond to observable comportment of similar animals in the natural environment ?
• 2- Amongst the animals represented, are there species sharing similar comportment? In such cases, do they share also inter-related ritual actions?
The problematic of research concerns the general direction that your research will take.
It also represents the broad questions that you want to investigate. Broad questions which can be subdivided in a series of sub-units.
• 2- Amongst the animals represented, are there species sharing similar comportment? In such cases, do they share also inter-related ritual actions?

Four principal stages of an iconographic analysis
• 1 -The definition of a subject of research.
• 2 -The formulation of a research hypothesis.
• 3 -The creation of a corpus of research.
• 4- The exact identification of the elements represented.
Subject of ResearchSubject of Research
• It consists in posing the principal problem to be studied.

• It permits to circumscribe the general objectives and to retain
during the fieldwork the greatest amount of information possible.

Analysis
• To pose a sort of analytic and synthetic judgment
Primary Sources
• The primary sources are all the documents written or visual that leads to a first compilation, identification and interpretation of the iconographic corpus. These sources can come from anthropology, the natural sciences, health sciences, etc. The sources are not used to identify the representations but to explain them.
Secondary Sources
• The secondary sources are all the documents written or visual that permit to study the first interpretations but in a diachronic perspective. These documents can come from ethnology or ethnohistory and permit to show continuities or discontinuities of certain themes. …
Secondary Sources
• It thus can help to show if the cognitive concepts underlying certain representations have persisted through time, and if the written sources can help to understand better the meaning of the representations.
