ABSTRACT Summary – Prehistoric archaeology of the Lòzio Valley (Val Camonica, Italian Alps): a first report. NAB 22 (2014): 45–94. The prehistoric archaeology of the Lòzio Valley, adjacent to the Borno Plateau and coinciding with the small Lànico basin in western Val Camonica, has remained unexplored in spite of the chance discovery of two statue- menhirs in 1963 and 1972 (the so-called “Bagnolo stelae”). Intermittent research by the authors since 1995, partly aimed at adding territorial perspective to the remarkable findings of Copper Age statue-menhir sites on the Borno Plateau, has begun to redress this situation. In this article the three prehistoric sites currently known are described and assessed: Ceresolo (the findspot of the wrongly named Bagnolo monoliths), Castegno Büso, and Mulini di Camerata. All represent Copper Age 1 cultic occurrences connected with Borno-1-type boulders and imagery (geometric and so-called topographic compositions; see Fedele 2011, NAB 19), and thus provide a rare opportunity to investigate sites of this ideological phase. Ceresolo and Camerata later developed into ceremonial statue-menhir sites during the 3rd millennium BC (Copper Age 2 and ideological phase A1). No archaeological excavation has been possible until now, and, in spite of having been officially notified, the Camerata site was partially destroyed in 2006-2007. The main focus of the article is on understanding the three localities as archaeological sites in their setting. For Ceresolo, historical toponymy is studied alongside a critical evaluation of the archaeological literature. Walking routes, viewsheds and visibility, and social geography issues are discussed. The significance of this evidence for Copper Age archaeology is outlined, as well as research prospects and recommendations.
