Archeologia dei paesaggi storici e archeologia della sostenibilità

Landscape archaeology shifted its main focus from settlements to the relationship between humans and the natural environment. Thus, new questions and new tools raise a new lively debate. Among the others, sustainability and resilience seem to be promising. Though linked always to present concerns about the fate of future generations, these topics can stimulate a new agenda to study how human communities exploited the available resources and how did they react to sudden and long term changes. This new perspective allows a closer link between past and future.
