Summary (English)

  • In 2011 archaeological investigations continued at the base of the slope of a small terrace where rock CMS 1 is situated. The aim was to identify any materials transported here by erosion. This intervention, like the preceding ones, did not produce the desired results.

    The programme of tracing and documentation of the rock incisions involved the boulders in the area of Aga. Here, the data collection for the first 24 rocks was completed, rocks nos. 36, 37, 40, 44, 45 and 48 were surveyed and rocks nos. 31, 34-45, 47-48 were catalogued. In the locality of Le Torbiere, no. 39 was surveyed and no. 41 catalogued. As incongruities resulted in the first round of geo-referencing, all of the rocks were repositioned.

    In the Camisana area, work concentrated on reading the inscriptions in the Lugano alphabet on rock CMS 1, of which a further 18 letters were transcribed (adding to the 11 that are already published).
    Surveys in other areas of the valley identified incised rocks. In particular, in the locality of Masoni, along the path leading to the Venina pass, 17 rocks with incised figures and, above all, inscriptions of the historic period, were identified and geo-referenced. At the Lago del Becco a rock bearing a large number of incisions with dates and words and covering a wide chronological span starting from the 16th century, was identified.
