Chapter Acqua e carbone in Casentino tra XII e XV secolo: elementi di analisi archeologica dei paesaggi medievali
Abstract
Water mills and charcoal pits have constituted two of the main economic factors of the Tuscan Apennine mountains. Between the 12th and 15th centuries, they were used by noble powers and rural communities, thus being the protagonists of fundamental economic activities, such as milling (wheat and chestnuts) and siderurgy. Therefore, the analyzed sites nearby Raggiolo and Pratovecchio Stia (Casentino) are relevant case studies to understand the dynamics of the medieval mountain economic systems.
