The PastMont<\/strong><\/a> project, funded by the Department of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya (CLT009\/22\/00036), aims to reconstruct the evolution of agricultural and pastoral practices in western Montseny, from the Pla de la Calma to Aiguafreda (Vall\u00e8s Oriental), covering a transformative period from the end of the Roman era (5th-6th centuries) to the consolidation of the feudal landscape (12th-13th centuries).<\/p>\n PastMont<\/strong><\/a> brings together an interdisciplinary team of experts in environmental archaeology, geoarchaeology, topography, and historical documentation. In addition to Abel Gallego and Valentina Pescini from the ICAC, the team includes distinguished researchers such as Alexandra Livarda<\/a> y\u00a0Alfredo Mayoral<\/a>, Theoni Baniou<\/a> y\u00a0Alexandra Kriti<\/a>. Researchers from prominent institutions, including the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and the AmbiLab<\/strong> <\/a>laboratory at the University of La Laguna, are also key project members.<\/p>\n With a strategy combining scientific research and knowledge transfer, the PastMont project works alongside local stakeholders and institutions such as Montseny Natural Park and Biosphere Reserve and the municipalities of Aiguafreda and Sant Mart\u00ed de Centelles, with the aim of deepen our understanding of Montseny\u2019s historical landscape and its enduring connection to today\u2019s environment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Supported by this collaborative work, the GIAP research group explores how Montseny\u2019s agricultural and pastoral past still echoes in today\u2019s landscape. It aims to connect historical practices with the present environment to preserve its memory and encourage sustainable landscape management.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/test.icac.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Giap_PastMont_campanya-oct-24-3-389x518.jpg\" "\\"Giap_PastMont_campanya")
