Neuf mille ans d’occupation du sol en moyenne montagne : la vallée de Fressinières dans le Parc National des Ecrins (Fressinières, Hautes-Alpes)

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: Since 1998 an archaeological research programme (directed by K Walsh) has taken place in the Freissinières commune (05). This work is part of a wider collaborative and multidisciplinary project: Settlement and Pastoralism from the Prehistoric Period Through to the Middle Ages in Southern Alps. Between 1998 and 2001 prospection in high altitude zones has allowed us to identify more than 100 sites dating from the Neolithic through to the modern period. Following this field survey a number of sondages and excavations took place, in particular on the Faravel plateau and the Faravel Mountain, between 2000 and 2500m asl. This area produced prehistoric sites as well as a series of pastoral structures of different forms and different periods. Traces of human activity from the early Mesolithic through to the medieval period were consequently excavated.
