RARO-Rock Art RecOrder

Freeware database software for cataloguing rock art figures (Win only, unless using a virtualized OS). After a long period of use limited to the recording and cataloguing of rock carvings in the Alps – particularly in Valcamonica and the Western Alps – the time has come to share the database software specifically designed for rock art. It is fully customisable and therefore suitable for cataloguing rock art from all regions of the world. Among its key features is the automatic generation of figure catalogues – both comprehensive and specific – based on a wide range of filters.

The Ibexes Rock

Ibex hunting scene

The Ibexes Rock shows one of the most interesting Iron Age hunting scenes (VII-IV cent. BC) of the western Alps. At the same time it hosts the highest alpine Roman inscriptions (I sec. AD). Many similarities with the Camunnian engraved hunting scenes, while here the ibex takes the place of the deer [these notes are taken by the EuroPreArt (European Prehistoric Art) database, short photogallery added].
