Details and information relating to the content.

This story is set at the archaeological site of Riparo Dalmeri, inhabited towards the end of the Paleolithic by hunters specialized in hunting ibex. Beneath the rocky vault, near the hut, are three pits filled with ibex skulls and horns. Archaeologists have discovered more than 200 stones painted in red ochre, with abstract designs and animal silhouettes: the largest features a figure interpreted as a "shaman." Milk teeth found at the site demonstrate that hunters moved from the valley floor to the mountains with their families and children.
