The human use of caves around the Adriatic Sea. A geoarchaeological perspective
For the last several centuries, the Adriatic Sea has been a major physical and cultural border between two parts of Europe that played a relevant role in the peopling of Western Eurasia, from the earliest prehistory onwards. However, the situation has not always been the same: sea-levels changed dramatically through time, changing the sea into a plain during the latest Pleistocene, and archaeological data suggest that intense cultural relationships connected the two shores even for longer time, at least until the Middle Neolithic. Throughout this period, caves have been principal landmarks in the behaviour and economy of humans, and are today valuable archives of environmental and cultural change. From Apulia to the Trieste Karst, from Istria to Southern Dalmatia, cave sequences provide high-quality data about palaeoenvironmental change, putting into evidence the influence of the Adriatic Plain, and subsequently of the rise of the sea-level, on cultural evolution. Geoarchaeological studies based on sedimentology and soil micromorphology of cave sequences excavated in the last years, show wide-scale environmental analogies mixed with local ecological niches, and suggest astonishing cultural similarities in human adaptations to climate and territory during the Palaeolithic, as well as strict land use techniques by the Neolithic populations.
