Summary, in English

Here are proposed different studies carried out by the Laboratorio di Archeologia e Storia Ambientale of Genoa University through the use of a geographical historical microanalitical approach to documentary, field and sedimentary sources. The main aim is the reconstruction of different agri-silvo-pastoral practices and of environmental processes connected to the management of mountain resources widespread in the past in the Eastern Ligurian Apennines and now completely disappeared. In particular, we focused our attention on one of the access points to pastoral resources of the upper Aveto valley connected to transhumance systems involving mainly sheep until the end of 19th century. This study was carried out in the perspective of the identification of different agri-silvo-pastoral practices concerning the common-land use system since the 16th century. In this particular case, the comparison of different sources allowed the reconstruction of the relationship between settlement development, environmental resources management systems and the abandonment of these practices.
