Abstract
CT - The state of rock art research in Valcamonica, Italy:
an updating on the research of Paspardo - Twelve years ago during the
42
th
Scientific Conference of IIPP a report updated the state of the rock art re-
search in Valcamonica. The current report summarizes the rock art studies of
the last decade managed by the Cooperativa Archeologica Le Orme dell’Uomo
of Cerveno (BS), with the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Brescia
(CALOU-UCBS) often in collaboration with the State University of Milan and
the Civic Museum of Bergamo. The CALOU-UCBS group traditionally concentrates
its fieldwork
in Paspardo
where the Valcamonica
Rock Art
Field School &
Fieldwork
continues
research on
the numerous sites along
the new
and
the old
Deria
road (La
‘it,
‘al de Plaha,
Bial do le
Scale,
Dos Sottolajolo, In Valle,
La
Bosca,
mainly within the Natural Regional
Reserve)
under the Ministry/Superintendence
concession. In this area rock art spans from the 5
th
to the 1
Millennium
BC with typical themes including: topographic representations, schematic
humans,
warriors,
wild
and
domestic
zoomorphs.
Archaeological
excavations
at
the
Bial
do
Le
Scale
and
La
‘it
sites
are
investigating
the
relationship
of the
ancient
terraced agricultural area (a percentage of which include presence of old
chestnuts
trees) and engraved
rocks. Five
other sites within the Adamello
Park
have
been researched: Dos
Costapeta, Gras
de Le pegore,
Clef del Popomm,
Dos
Sulif,
Baite Fles Saline.
In the last years the research has concentrated primarily
on
the site of Castel
(Castle) where a fringed mantel figure was
discovered
on an
open
air rock (rather than engraved
on a stele as expected);
paintings have
been
investigated
at the Bial
do le Scale
site.
