...to understand the meaning,
to establish the chronology, to recreate the origin, and specially
...to conceive a picture
of the possible connections between the different forms through which this
art has been produced in its multiform techniques during the millennia
... with the aim to catch
a possible evolutional continuity...

1973)

The 2° Rupestrian
Archaeology International Congress - Archaeology and Rock Art, Europe,
Alps, Valcamonica wants to draw the international scientific
community's attention to the importance for the historical studies of Rupestrian
Archaeology, which is a term adopted from 1989 to indicate the sector of
archaeology that studies Rock Art.
In 1988 died Paolo Graziosi, the most important
Italian scholar of prehistoric art and founder of a school of thinking
outlined in the above-written quotation. |
We would like that the Congress will draw its inspiration
from these words.
The idea of setting the study of Rock Art in an
archaeological frame of reference originates from the need for a more careful
analysis of the iconographic rupestrian heritage. This cultural and chronological
placing has become necessary for all those scholars who, working in the
field of symbols, ideologies and rituals want to put these in a context
with a major scientific credibility. |
The Congress addresses all the scholars interested
in this field, asking them to participate with a paper in the sections
pointed out, and also those who think that their research in the field
of archaeology, ethnography, history of religions or similar can help to
better define the chronological, interpretative or methodological aspects
of the European Rock Art, with particular attention to the Alpine range
and to Valcamonica. |
