Recent landscape archaeology research on high mountain environments has been mainly characterised by the integration of palaeoenvironmental and archaeological data. However, some difficulties arise when attempting to integrate both datasets. Whereas palaeoenvironmental studies provide data characterised by high temporal resolution but low spatial resolution, archaeological studies provide important cultural data, which is restricted chronologically but very accurate in spatial terms.

The complex evolution of Valencia’s territory has made it one of the most complex historical landscapes in Europe. But this complexity can also be problematic for its study, since the intensive historical occupation and geomorphological dynamics in combination with modern changes have deeply transformed the territory. Therefore, for its meaningful analysis, a multidisciplinary research perspective […]

In this work we propose a methodology to evaluate the impact of natural hazards (mainly  rockfalls, debrisflows and avalanches) and human pressure to archaeological conservation of cultural landscapes in high mountain areas (Núria and Coma de Vaca valleys, Eastern Pyrenees). To do this, a specific and original methodology for risk assessment has been developed through […]
