SHELTER D
Research conducted for twenty years after the MUSE,l Science Museum in Trento, brought to light one of the most fascinating prehistoric hunting camps of the end times. Surrounded by unspoilt nature to 1,240 m above sea level on the plain of Marcesina, Shelter D is a Paleolithic archaeological site of great significance for the history of Trentino.
The site, for wealth and good preservation of the finds, made it possible to understand the habits, activities and modes of exploitation of the mountain territory by prehistoric people who lived in the area around 13,000 years ago. The discovery of several painted in red ochre stones with various depictions, permits new interpretations on art and spirituality of the ancient hunter-gatherers -Alpine Highlands.
During excavation, one of the most striking findings was the identification of a structure, probably a homebuilding – a circular hut that was presented as a mild depression, with a diameter of about 4 metres, surrounded by a cordon of stones. Within the area identified faunal remains of deer and ibex, Flint implements (scratchers and chisels) and red ochre dust; outside three rituals with Ibex horns.
