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.

Abstract
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.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
