First full survey of how transhumance operated in Ireland from the sixteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth.
This book presents archaeological research conducted within the Highlands of Sicily. Results of an archaeological survey in the Madonie mountain range, in northern Sicily, supported by a chronological and cultural grid, drawn by the excavation of Vallone Inferno, deal with complex and fascinating problems of uplands and mountainous landscape. Settlement patterns, between the Late Pleistocene and the Medieval era, are investigated through the support of spatial analyses. A diversified use of the mountain is currently attested by this research, according to the different prehistoric and historical times. This work is innovative for the Mediterranean area, where there are no similar examples of such extensive territorial research in a mountainous context. The research has been focused on particular aspects of ancient peopling: economic and social issues, human-environment interactions and the long term interest in the mountain range.
In addition to providing geographical coverage of a previously unstudied region, this study contributes to archaeological practice and archaeological site conservation. Throughout the United States, the daily exercise of archaeology relies on accurate models that can locate sites potentially threatened by landscape-altering projects. Archaeologists with access to GIS technology and relational databases have the potential for full consideration of landscape use by mobile hunter-gatherer groups who incorporated the uplands into settlement cycles. Similarly, local governments with access to this technology can develop more robust management plans for site conservation.
