En la primera parte del texto se presenta el cuadro de los conocimientos referidos a los epígrafes de sacerdotes en Brescia y en Valcamonica, donde se concentra la mayor parte de estos hallazgos. En la segunda parte del texto se profundiza el estudio sobre la devoción al dios Mercurio a través del análisis de los epígrafes y de algunos supuestos lugares de culto

I dati archeologici dalla Val Trompia, per quanto scarsi e frammentari e non indicativi di una specifica identita etnica, testimoniano per il territorio l’apertura fin dal III sec. a.C. verso il mondo celtico e l’esistenza di stretti rapporti culturali ed economici con la pianura e con Brescia. The Trumplini are mentioned by numerous ancient historical and epigraphic sources: present among the gentes alpinae devictae Trophy in La Turbie and among peoples portrayed in Sebasteion of Aphrodisias in Caria, they are cited distinctly from the Camunni, Sabini and Raeti . The archaeological data from Valtrompia, though insufficient and not specific to an ethnic identity, testifies an opening to the Celtic world since the ...

In 1976, an excavation at Le Sante, in Capo di Ponte (BS-Italy), revealed a deep carbonic layer containing abundant ceramic, glass, and metallic material, mostly broken and partly altered by fire, as well as several bone fragments, and rock structures. The findings were interpreted as the ustrinum of a necropolis active during the Roman Age. The peculiar structural organization of the area, featuring an artificial dip surrounded by an elliptical stone wall and a heap of black carbonic earth, with plentiful material suggests a similarity with the votive bonfires of the Alps and the prehistoric sanctuary recently unveiled in Breno, at Spinera, in middle Valcamonica. The analysis of such material, still unpublished, shows a prevalence of offer cups (including numerous Henkeldellenbecher-style jugs and small cups in thin walled pottery and in Terra Sigillata), ritually broken and scattered. Similarities with sites in Alto Adige (Rungger Egg in the Alpe di Siusi and Noafer Bühl, above Gries) suggest to interpret the Capo di Ponte environment as a votive funerary bonfire, a sort of Brandopferplatz in use from the late Iron Age to the 4th century AD.

The discovery of these pans in some unpublished sites of Valcamonica (BS - Italy) allowed us to carry out the archaeological study together with a preliminary archaeometric investigation on a large number of sherds. Compositional data have been collected on macroscopic samples and on a selection of thin sections, observed under the polarizing microscope. Peculiar features of different paste groups, in term of petrography and fabric, have been individuated, as well as technological skills corresponding to different way of making pottery. Archaeological and archaeometric analyses allowed us to refer the complete production cycle of Lappenbecken pans to a household context, decidedly local, as documented by the presence of minerals and rock fragments related to the geology of Valcamonica (i.e.: hornblende; tonalite of the Adamello complex; volcanic rocks; micaschists).
