ABSTRACT:
Our research focuses on the use of valleys that link the inland to the coast during
Prehistory. Traditionally, research has studied rivers, coast and inland as separate
landscapes, but the major characteristic of hunter-gatherers was mobility. In order
to understand and reconstruct the evolution of human behaviour, our main goal is
to answer the questions: “How, why and when did people circulate between these
different ecological landscapes?” and “What was the impact of the major climatic shifts
on that mobility?”
To answer these questions our archaeological project includes survey, testing, and
the excavation of archaeological sites, using high-resolution field and laboratory
methodologies in order to contribute significantly to the understanding of ecological
behaviour of Prehistoric populations, including extinct human species such as Neanderthals.
