Abstract
Mondeval de Sora is a site located at 2.100 m above sea level in the Italian Dolomites. In this paper the geology and geomorphology of the area and the chronology and stratigraphy of the archaeological site are described. Particular attention is paid to the Castelnovian burial, and the pollen studies carried out on it. There then folows a discussion of the nature of the prehistoric adaptation at this high altitude camp-site and its role within a general settlement model for the Mesolithic in Northern Italy. It is hypothetised that Mondeval de Sora may have been a summer meeting campsite where exchanges of various sorts took place.File in questo prodotto:
