    Il progetto LIMPH: un tentativo di ricostruire le modalità di sfruttamento dello spazio alpino degli ultimi cacciatori-raccoglitori europei

    Un progetto attualmente in corso intitolato “LiMPH – Living in the Mountains at the Pleistocene- Holocene boundary” e finanziato dall’Unione Europea nell’ambito delle Azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie mira a comprendere come gli ambienti montani siano stati sfruttati dai gruppi umani che per primi, dopo l’Ultimo Massimo Glaciale, hanno colonizzato la regione alpina (14.000-8500 anni fa circa). Diversi siti preistorici della Provincia di Belluno, datati fra la fine del Paleolitico e il Mesolitico antico, sono stati inclusi nel progetto. Questo articolo descrive brevemente gli obiettivi del progetto LiMPH, la metodologia applicata e alcuni dei risultati preliminari ottenuti. Vengono, inoltre, riportate alcune informazioni sugli scavi archeologici condotti dal Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell’Università degli Studi di Ferrara in provincia di Belluno, nel corso dell’estate 2022.An ongoing project entitled “LiMPH – Living in the Mountains at the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary”, financed by the European Union in the framework of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, aims at understanding how the mountain environments were exploited by the first human groups that, after the Last Glacial Maximum, colonized the Alpine region (14,000-8500 years ago). Multiple sites located in the Belluno area and dated between the final part of the Palaeolithic and the Early Mesolithic are included in the project. This paper briefly describes the LiMPH’s aims, the applied methodology and the preliminary results. Additionally, information on the prehistoric excavations carried out by the Department of Human Studies of the University of Ferrara in the Belluno Province during the summer is also reported

    An intra-site perspective on the Sauveterrian lowland occupation of the Emilian Po plain (Northern Italy)

    No full text
    The Sauveterrian occupation of the southern Po plain is known thanks to the discovery of five sites. Three are located near Bologna (INFS, Casalecchio and Cava Due Portoni), one in the Parma district (Collecchio) and one near Piacenza (Le Mose). Although they were excavated between the 1980s and 1990s, the spatial position of the archaeological finds has been recorded for all except Le Mose. This has allowed an intra-site spatial analysis to be carried out. This paper will compare and contrast the spatial organization of the sites in search of common features and differences. The study has been aimed at a critical re-examination of the available evidence in order to better understand the role of these sites within the settlement system of the southern Po plain area during the Early Mesolithic. The Emilian evidence is made up of both ephemeral settlements occupied by small parties for short time spans that can be interpreted as hunting stands (INFS and Casalecchio), and sites specialising in the processing of specific raw materials (Collecchio). Proper residential sites, if there were any, are still missing (perhaps with the exception of Cava Due Portoni, whose functional role remains uncertain due to post-depositional disturbance). The interpretation of Le Mose appears more debatable due to a lack of spatial data

    Between the Venetian Alps and the Emilian Apennines (Northern Italy): Highland vs. lowland occupation in the early Mesolithic

    No full text
    The territory extending between the Venetian Alps and the Emilian Apennines is formed by a mosaic of environments which span from high mountains to hilly and plain areas. These present rather varied features from one extreme (Alpine watershed) to the other (Emilian Apennines watershed). In the early Holocene, the plain area included between the two mountain chains – the Venetian-Po plain – was extended some tens km to the south with respect to the present day coast. This vast territory has been the object of research since the 1970s and 1980s. Field activities have allowed identifying a rich set of sites that occupy different topographic and geographic locations, thus composing an articulated mosaic characterised by a much wider variability with respect to the well-known case of the Adige basin, located at the western limit of the examined area, which is exclusively included within a mountain territory. In this paper, we analyse for the first time the rich record from this area in its whole with the aim of investigating the territorial organisation of hunter–gatherer groups on a wide scale. This research has allowed us to set hypotheses on the mobility and occupation strategies of human groups and on the key-aspects that may have favoured the extensive and intensive occupation of this area. Besides the supposed presence of a biomass compatible with the demographic increase that has characterised this period, we also suggest that the “pragmatic” Sauveterrian technological systems played an important role in the adaptation of early Mesolithic hunter–gatherers to the varied ecosystems offered by this area

    "Archeologia totale” nel territorio di alta quota delle antiche Regole del Cadore (Belluno)

    Il Laboratorio “B. Bagolini” del Dipartimento di Lettere e Filosofia dell’Università di Trento e il Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell’Università di Ferrara hanno dato avvio nel 2012 ad un progetto di ricognizione archeologica e studio delle evidenze antropiche di alta quota del territorio delle antiche regole di San Vito di Cadore (BL). A livello metodologico il presente progetto è basato su un approccio diacronico e multiscalare. Ciò significa che il territorio in oggetto è stato ricognito senza applicare alcun tipo di filtro, ossia censendo ogni tipologia di evidenza antropica, dai siti preistorici ai bivacchi dei cacciatori d’epoca contemporanea, dai singoli reperti, alle incisioni, alle strutture murarie

    Dall’11 al 14 giugno 2014 si è svolto a Selva di Cadore, presso il Museo V. Cazzetta il convegno internazionale intitolato “MesoLife. A Mesolithic perspective on Alpine and neighbouring territories”, che ha riunito studiosi e ricercatori che si occupano di Mesolitico nell’area alpina e nelle regioni circostanti
