Animal husbandry in Sicilian prehistory: The zooarchaeological perspective from Vallone Inferno (Scillato, Palermo)

2023

Starting in the mid-6th millennium cal BCE, Neolithic groups occupied the midlands of Sicily. The economy of these groups was based primarily on livestock farming. Archaeological and archaeobotanical data indicate an intensification of livestock practices during the Early Bronze Age, leading to a change in the landscape in the form of more open forests. The Vallone Inferno rockshelter in the Madonie massif is one of the few sites that has been systematically excavated in these midlands, and has yielded evidence of Middle Neolithic and Early Bronze Age occupations. This work focuses on the study of prehistoric husbandry in the Sicilian midlands and highlands through the analysis of the Vallo…

La «communication» de l’art préhistorique: de la pratique didactique à la redécouverte de l’invisible

2009

Les sites préhistoriques peuvent devenir les instruments de la reconnaissance de l’identité d’une communauté par rapport à son territoire. Ce sont les spectateurs du lien existant entre facteurs visibles et invisibles à l’intérieur même des sites. En ce qui concerne les découvertes préhistoriques, on a conscience que le pouvoir de témoigner le plus fort est exprimé principalement par les formes primordiales d’art rupestre. Souvent s’imposent des solutions dans lesquelles la technique est « mise au service » de la préhistoire afin de la rendre accessible au public. Cette accessibilité se réalise à travers la création d’un pôle muséal. Avec les ateliers didactiques consacrés à l’« art rupestr…

Il tempo perduto di neanderthal: preistoria e musei

2010

One of the most interesting problems of the "representations" of the prehistory in museums is constituted by the difficulty to make the images of the physical people. In some cases, the presence of contemporary artists has been useful to resolve the problem, in others the solution is submitted to the so-called paleo-artists, in others still it is the whole presentation that assumes, in its complex, evocative characters. This article examines some interesting examples, on the thread conductor of one of the great mysteries of the most distant prehistory: the anxious image of Neanderthal man.

Verità e menzogna dei simboli

2008

Cosa sono e come funzionano i simboli? Quali sono i meccanismi di trasmissione dell’immaginario, i suoi spazi e la sua rilevanza sociale? Quali il ruolo e il perimetro del sacro, del mito, del rito, della magia e della religione in certi ambiti, erroneamente percepiti come marginali, della società contemporanea? Quali le strategie di trasmissione della memoria culturale e i processi di produzione e riproduzione dell’identità comunitaria? I saggi riuniti in questo volume cercano di fornire alcune risposte a questi interrogativi confrontandosi con la pervasiva, sebbene non di rado occulta, dialettica culturale tra immanenza e trascendenza e indagando sulle dinamiche psicologiche e sociali del…
