Abstract
Many cult manifestations are known in the Italian Prehistory, especially during the Neolithic and the Metal Ages. They were associated with pits dug in the ground inside caverns, and with stone circles or burials, where vases, votive objects and vegetables or animals offerings were deposited. They were related to agricultural rituals and to practices associated with birth, death and resurrection. Another type of cults concerns those, with depositions of vases or of valuable objects, related to waters, both the drippings clean ones and the rivers, lakes and sources ones, besides those originated from secondary volcanism, such as thermo-mineral or sulphur waters.
