Abstract

The initial presence of humans in the high mountains almost since 8000 years ago shows more elements ofdomestication than initially estimated. Although the geographic extent of archaeological explorations is stilllimited, there is evidence of domestic livestock use and, in some cases, likely mixed-cereal agriculture at in-termediate altitudes. It has not been possible to verify an impact of this activity on the landscape yet. In thePyrenees, the distribution of archaeological sites in the high mountain changes associated with climate in themiddle of the Holocene. The occupation of shelters and the number of archaeological sites decline. However,the human impact on the landscape is evident in some palaeoecological registers during the Bronze Age andinvolves the forest opening for grazing, probably using fire, on many occasions. The Middle Ages constitute thedefinitive transformation of the landscape and an organization of the use of the territory that has remained lar-gely to present. A greater variety of land use, such as mining and metallurgy, added to livestock also with strongimpact on forests. In the Sierra Nevada, the development of the irrigation ditch system by the Andalusiansmodified the hydrology to the present, with other implications on the landscape yet to be determined. Likely,the medieval imprint is still present in the current distribution of the species and the edaphic processes that oc-cur in the high mountain. From the initial mosaic of incipient transformations to the forcefulness and diversityof the Middle Ages, the spatial projection and temporal continuity on how the landscape acculturation of thehigh-mountain took place still require a deeper exploration throughout the territory.
