The following members of our Association,
Francesco Bertolino, Gabriele Caracausi,
Orlando Sculli, Maria Alexandra Hugede and
Paul Winter, led by our president Dr. Robert
Winter, continued their historical and archeological
research on the first settlements of Sicily
(Sicani and Emoli people). Later the team
worked on archeological digs and territorial
exploration in the region of the "Parco

in Calabria (Italy) where important Paleolithic
cave paintings and Neolithic rock shelters
with sacrificial sites were discovered.

Miss Marie Alexandra Hugede and Paul Winter
have identified inside a cave in "Monte
Litri", "Parco dell'Aspromonte"
(Aspromonte Park, Mount Litri), jurisdiction
of Samo
(Italy), the remains of Paleolithic Rock
Paintings. Also and in the nearby area,
a Neolithic sacrificial stone beside a votive
niche was found.
The discovery has been officially "REGISTERED"

by the Lord Mayor of the City
of Samo, Dr. Giovanni Micchia.
In addition, on August 6th, 2002

discovered a Pre-historic carved relief
representing a wounded bison. This type
of representations were associated to ceremonial
rituals performed to "ease the hunt".
The relief was found within the environs
of the "Rocca degli Armeni" (Rock
of the Armenians - a much later superimposed
Byzantine monastery) in the area of Bruzzano,
Calabria, Italy. |
