Since a few years a research group at the University of Pisa studies the population and the landscapes of the Lunigiana through a project divided into several phases. In this paper we present the first two sub-projects: TraMonti, deployed in the Vara Valley (SP) and now closed , and Casola in the Aulella Valley (MS), now reaching its conclusions. Some general considerations follow the outline of the main features and of the problems we faced. They concern the archaeological research in mountain areas and the choices made in the use of a web GIS for the management of the collected data. Some insights about the meaning of a public history/archaeology in societies affected by natural disasters are also given. In the concluding remarks we argue for the need of a true multidisciplinary approach in the study of mountain areas and outline the difficulty of working on areas that still suffer from marginalization and sparse population. Nonetheless, it is recalled the great scientific interest in this type of studies and the possibility that they can affect contemporary society.

Abstract
Since a few years a research group at the University of Pisa studies the population and the landscapes of the Lunigiana through a project divided into several phases. In this paper we present the first two sub-projects: TraMonti, deployed in the Vara Valley (SP) and now closed , and Casola in the Aulella Valley (MS), now reaching its conclusions. Some general considerations follow the outline of the main features and of the problems we faced. They concern the archaeological research in mountain areas and the choices made in the use of a web GIS for the management of the collected data. Some insights about the meaning of a public history/archaeology in societies affected by natural disasters are also given. In the concluding remarks we argue for the need of a true multidisciplinary approach in the study of mountain areas and outline the difficulty of working on areas that still suffer from marginalization and sparse population. Nonetheless, it is recalled the great scientific interest in this type of studies and the possibility that they can affect contemporary society.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
