A new paper has been published on The Holocene titled “Long-term environmental dynamics and agro-sylvo-pastoral practices in the SW Alps (Italy): Interdisciplinary perspectives from Monte Mongioie”. High-resolution, multi-proxy research is presented, combining pedoanthracology, palynology, archaeobotany, archaeoentomology, malacology, biomolecular analysis, soil micromorphology, and chemistry with radiocarbon dating and historical ecology observations. This evidence has been cross-checked with documentary and iconographic sources (i.e. historical texts and maps) to unravel the complex historical practices related to the use and management of grazing resources.
