Abstract The Addaura Cave, located on Monte Pellegrino – Palermo, Sicily, is known for its exquisite engravings dating between the end of the Epigravettian and the Mesolithic periods. The frieze shows a group of men arranged in a circle around two very controversial figures which have generated much scholarly debate. So far, the purely choreographic and musical aspect has been little investigated. From the examination of the position of legs and arms and the presence of particular ornaments it is possible to deduce that these figures are engaged in a dance whose purpose is most probably linked to the ceremonial sphere. The purpose of the present contribution is to return to the concreteness of gesture related to dance, describing the modalities and the possible rhythmic implications.

Addaura洞穴：中石器时代的西西里岛的舞蹈和礼仪

摘要位于西西里岛蒙特佩莱格里诺-巴勒莫的Addaura洞穴以其精美的雕刻而闻名，该雕刻可追溯到Epigravettian末期与中石器时代之间。fr带显示一群人围成两个非常有争议的人物围成一圈，引起了很多学术界的争论。到目前为止，纯舞蹈和音乐方面的研究很少。通过检查腿和手臂的位置以及是否存在特定的装饰物，可以推断出这些人物正在从事舞蹈，其目的很可能与礼仪领域有关。本贡献的目的是返回与舞蹈相关的手势的具体性，描述其形式和可能的节奏含义。
