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 […]

The remains of livestock activities are susceptible to natural hazards, including flooding, erosion and mainly landslip. At the same time, the decline of traditional activities has an important impact on the conservation of the archaeological […]
