Summary (English)

  • In 2010 the archaeological investigation continued along the east and north sides of rock CMS 1, in search of evidence of ancient occupation. This did not produce the hoped for results, due to the intense erosion and hill-wash effecting the zone. An authorised metal detector survey close to rock CMS 1, undertaken to map the dispersion of materials on the slope affected by erosive phenomena, led to the recovery of a bronze fibula of the Certosa type datable to the 5th century B.C., several pieces of aes rude, dating to between the 5th and 4th century B.C, and numerous iron nails of unspecified date. The find sites were registered using a total station, using the same system of coordinates as the 2009 excavation grid.

    The programme of contact tracing and recording of the incised rock art has mainly looked at the rocks in the Val Camisana. To date 133 rocks with incisions have been identified, numbered and geo-referenced. During the 2010 campaign the rocks CMS no. 39, 51, 54,56, 58, 62, 66 and 67 were identified and recorded. Rocks no. 60, 63, 119, 121 and 123 were also surveyed but not recorded. Rocks no. 53, 55, 57, 61, 64, 65, 68, 69 and 124 were recorded but not surveyed.

    Furthermore, six Leponzian inscriptions on CMS 1 were checked and are soon to be published.
    In the locality of Le Torbiere the rocks LTB no. 35, 36, 37 and 38 were surveyed and recorded.
    In the locality of AGA rocks no. 36 and 37.
    In the locality of Valsecca (VLS) 28 rocks were identified and geo-referenced.

    With the aim of making rock CMS 1 visible in its environment to those who cannot actually climb up to it, the PROGETTO AZIMUT made a laser scan which will be used on a digital support that visitors to the museum will be able to consult.
