Bouquetins et chamois dans l’art rupestre alpin

Rock art in the Valcamonica region prominently features depictions of alpine animals such as bouquetins (a type of wild goat) and chamois, spanning from the Epipaleolithic to Protohistoric periods. These representations highlight the enduring significance of wildlife in prehistoric Alpine art, offering insights into ancient human-animal interactions and cultural practices. The study employs a chronological analysis of zoomorphic imagery across phases, revealing consistent themes that reflect both ecological and symbolic dimensions of these animals in past societies.
