ABSTRACT

Valcamonica is one of the most famous sites with rock art that particularly points out the weapons, and show us in the carved stones and archaeological remains glimpses of the past. It offers a fascinating and intriguing journey, for the many aspects that goes beyond the technical-utilitarian assessments. This journey enters in the field of art, the symbolic, the religious rituals and celebrations with the corollaries arising therefrom (On this arguments see Anati [1,2]). The weapons then, understood primarily as a substantial indicator of the psycho-physical development process of our species, are as a mirror of technical, social and ideological development [3] and have a major importance in this work.
