Objective
The transition period from the last hunter-gatherers to the first agropastoral groups marked a significant turning point in how humans understood the landscape and their relationship with environmental processes. In this context, the Mediterranean Alps played a key role as a natural corridor connecting the Mediterranean to Central Europe, making the region a hotspot for human mobility and cultural exchange. Notably, this area is highly sensitive to climate fluctuations, and some of these environmental changes may have influenced mobility and resource availability, shaping the cultural dynamics of the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition.
TRANSFORMED aims to deepen our understanding of human-environment relationships during this period through a high-resolution interdisciplinary approach. By integrating newly generated decadal-scale palaeoecological and hydroclimatic data with existing environmental and archaeological records into a common calibration model, we will precisely assess the timing of natural and cultural events and help bridge regional gaps in the archaeological record.
Comparing the timing of environmental and cultural transformations is essential for understanding how past and modern societies have responded to the challenges of climate change. By examining major cultural shifts within the dynamic landscapes of the past, TRANSFORMED will provide valuable long-term perspectives into human adaptations to environmental changes. Insights from this critical period when humans emerged as a powerful force of change within the Earth system are crucial for understanding and mitigating both the environmental and societal effects of climate change.
