3rd Prehistory Conference in Italy 13-03-2024 18.30-20.00 pm
Antonia Pintori – The female aspect in Nuragic sacred sources: the case of Noddule in Sardinia
Guido Palmerini – The discovery of the Palmerini ravine as part of research on the rock art of the Abruzzo Apennines
Antonia Pintori, degree in Cultural Heritage with specialization in Art History. Over the years you have worked as a guide at various prehistoric and protohistoric sites in Sardinia and are currently a museum guide at the Museum of Mediterranean Masks (Mamoiada – Nuoro). Since 2018 you have managed the Noddule Nuragic Complex in Nuoro, an archaeological site that presents a great variety of monuments dating from the Neolithic to the Roman age. The site, which has been in a state of abandonment since the first excavations in the 60s, is managed and cared for by her without the help of any type of public funds. This shared and conscious choice aimed at enhancing and enjoying the place; various activities are organized here including traditional music concerts, evenings of experiential astronomy as well as obviously guided tours.
Guido Palmerini, degree in Archeology and culture of the ancient and medieval world with specialization aimed at the protection and conservation of Cultural Heritage. He soon turned his research to the Abruzzo area, since 2011 as a collaborator in international research at the Paleolithic deposit of Valle Giumentina; since 2013 with Prof. Tomaso di Fraia he has collaborated on various research and census campaigns on the most ancient evidence of occupation of the eastern Maiella and Val di Sangro and on cave excavation campaigns with graphic documentation and laser scanners of rock art manifestations prehistoric. In 2016 he discovered a new rock art site at Monte La Queglia in Pesconsansonesco (called “Anfratto Palmerini”), which yields handprints in red ocher, filiform engravings and charcoal drawings dating back to the Neolithic age and the age of Metals. This discovery led to the design of a broader research program of the figurative rock production of the Maiella Massif, the Maiella Rock Art Project, an area in the entire Apennine Italy with the highest concentration of decorated sites.
