Le plus ancien pastoralisme en « territoires extrêmes » des Alpes italiennes centre-orientales

During the IV millennium BC, between the Late Neolithic and Copper Age, studies unanimously recognise the establishment of Systems of posture exploitation at high altitudes in the Alpine region, in form of vertical transhumant grazing and summer mountain pasturing. This is evidenced by pollen analyses and the widespread findings of artefacts in the mountain area. The development of pastoral transhumance should improve the mobility of human groups, as indicated by the similarities in the ceramic types as well as the circulation ofraw materials and prestige items through the mountain range. From the end of the III mïllennium B.C., in the Early Bronze Age, a large increase of anthropic impact tied to pastoral practices is recorded in the Alpine région, with a systematic attendance of high altitude postures. Pastoral activities in the mountains, even if permeated from strong traditionalism, connotes an extremely complex and dynamic reality
