The identification and study of archaeological sites in close relationship with rock engravings is one of the most interesting elements of recent research on the prehistory and protohistory of Valcamonica. This text analyses for the first time the site of Seradina I Corno (Capo di Ponte, BS), taking into account its more strictly archaeological aspects (old trenches, analysis of materials, new research), the surrounding rock art ensemble (17 engraved rocks, part of the larger Seradina rock complex) and its relationship with other prehistoric evidence from the Capo di Ponte area. A complex picture emerges, with several phases of occupation, but above all the possibility of adding an important new piece of knowledge to the material culture contexts in which the characteristic phenomenon of Valcamonica rock art has been interwoven and developed over the different epochs.

Abstract
The identification and study of archaeological sites in close relationship with rock engravings is one of the most interesting elements of recent research on the prehistory and protohistory of Valcamonica. This text analyses for the first time the site of Seradina I Corno (Capo di Ponte, BS), taking into account its more strictly archaeological aspects (old trenches, analysis of materials, new research), the surrounding rock art ensemble (17 engraved rocks, part of the larger Seradina rock complex) and its relationship with other prehistoric evidence from the Capo di Ponte area. A complex picture emerges, with several phases of occupation, but above all the possibility of adding an important new piece of knowledge to the material culture contexts in which the characteristic phenomenon of Valcamonica rock art has been interwoven and developed over the different epochs.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
