This study is the first gendered study of the prehistoric rock art
of Naquane National Park in Valcamonica, northern Italy. Its
purpose is to identify and describe gendered representations and
imagery in the rock art of Naquane, in order to reconstruct
potential gender roles, gender relations and ritual activities
during the Bronze and Iron Age periods. The social role of art in
non-western cultures is explored, as well as recent work on gender
studies in archaeology and rock art, with a view towards placing
the prehistoric rock art of Naquane within a social and cultural
context. Gender-specific access to and usage of the rock art sites
during successive phases of prehistory is considered and analysis
is presented of the possible rituals being portrayed in the rock
art and their potential social implications. Discussion also
focuses on the social and ritual construction of femininity and
masculinity during different chronological periods, as well as upon
possible gendered motifs and sexual imagery in the rock art. The
study concludes with a discussion of the incidence of over-carving
and the incorporation of earlier images into later rock art panels,
considering potential reasons why certain earlier carvings were
actively curated among the predominantly male-orientated Iron Age
rock art.
