4c - Praying figures and the Middle - Late Bronze Age

One of the main problems in the Anati's chronology is represented by the Style I - II. The key-figure, like a fossil guide, of these styles is the so called "orante" (praying figure), dated by Anati to the Neolithic by comparison with the Neolithic pottery. The fact is that in Valcamonica no "praying figures" is covered by Copper Age or later figures. On the contrary in various cases praying figures cover Copper Ages, Bronze Age (in 1 case also Iron Age) figures.
