Oukaimeden, a Moroccan rock art site

Oukaimeden engraving

Here some slides and draft notes of a lecture I delivered in 2010, after visiting Oukaimeden in April 2007. I’m pleased to share pictures, but also some ideas: comments are welcome. Oukaimeden is a very important petroglyphic complex, showing Copper or Ancient Bronze Age (III-beginnings of II mill. BC) engraved weapons, and also interesting points of contact with similar European petroglpyhs, from the Iberian peninsula to the Alpine arc, Mt. Bego particularly. Last but not least, it is also a beautiful natural site...

Croci cristiane rupestri

January 7, 2013 Contemporary, TRACCE Onl. RA Bull. 28, Western Alps No comments

Andrate

A chi frequenta la montagna, capita spesso lungo i suoi sentieri di incontrare il “segno” della croce, sia nelle baite che inciso direttamente sulle rocce rocce nei pressi degli abitati. Sovente le croci sono di tipo semplice, ma talvolta si presentano più complesse o corredate da date e lettere. E’ una tradizione incisoria che mostra una vasta estensione geografica e radici assai profonde nel tempo, probabile retaggio di una consuetudine ancora viva ai tempi della Cristianizzazione delle regioni alpine.

Looking at Ubaye petroglyphs with a candid eye

October 1, 2012 Contemporary, Ethnography - Etnografia, TRACCE Onl. RA Bull. 27, Western Alps No comments

Ubaye rupestre symbol

Ubaye historic petroglyphs are under survey and study; they may unveil many data about traditional mountain shepherd life, culture and skills. It’s a poorly known and fragile heritage, which must be properly protected and appreciated.

The strange case of snow-circles and cup-and-rings

April 24, 2012 Alpine rock art - Arte rupestre alpina, British Isles, Geoglyphs, Iberian peninsula, Interpretation and semiotics, TRACCE Onl. RA Bull. 26 3 comments

Snow-circles

A contemporary land-art performance curiously produces the same patterns engraved on prehistoric petroglyphs. Maybe a relationship with the landscape, real or symbolical, should be considered? Here the voices of Sonja Hinrichsen, the artist, and of Andrea Arcà, the archaeologist. The debate is open.

The Dolmen at Monticello near Finale Ligure

April 3, 2012 Appennino, Megalithic art - arte megalitica, Open access, TRACCE Onl. RA Bull. 26 One comment

Monticello dolmen

The Author describes the megalith known as Dolmen di Monticello: location, orientation, structure, geomorphology and other features found during the repeated personal observations. The Village of Monticello is located at 82 m. above sea level, along the western slopes of Gottaro. The first mention of this settlement dates back to 1268 when there was the division of inheritance between the sons of Giacomo Del Carretto, Marquis of Savona.
