PaTHS (Pastoral Tracks Heading South: The evolution of the droveways (tratturi) in Central-Southern Italy) will promote an innovative trans-disciplinary approach to understand how transhumance and its mobility routes shaped the character of Mediterranean landscapes in the long term. Transhumance is a type of pastoralism entailing a seasonal movement of livestock between summer and winter pastures along designated trails. The long evolution of transhumance in Southern Europe generated pastoral landscapes, characterised by unique ecosystems and networks of droveways connecting pastoral sites. Today, the historic landscapes of transhumance are key economic, ecological, and cultural assets, and their sustainable management is promoted by local governments and international organisations. The project will focus on Central-Southern Italy, where the historic transhumance network included about 3,000 km of iconic droveways (tratturi) and where pastoral activities are documented since the Early Neolithic (6th mill BC). To the best of our knowledge, droveways have never been directly investigated using archaeological methods. Furthermore, the correlations between pastoral routes and the wider archaeological and historic landscape have rarely been systematically analysed. The goal of PaTHS is to fill this knowledge gap. By combining landscape archaeology, landscape history, ethnoarchaeology, geosciences, palaeobotany and geospatial analysis, PaTHS will unravel the history of tratturi and the evolution of pastoral landscapes and environments, to promote good management practices and inform future policies.

PathHS（向南的田园小道：意大利中南部车道（tratturi）的演变）将促进一种创新的跨学科方法，以了解游牧活动及其流动路线如何长期塑造地中海景观的特征。游牧是一种畜牧业，需要牲畜沿着指定的小径在夏季和冬季牧场之间进行季节性移动。南欧游牧活动的长期演变产生了田园景观，其特点是独特的生态系统和连接田园地点的车道网络。如今，历史性的游牧景观已成为重要的经济、生态和文化资产，地方政府和国际组织正在推动其可持续管理。该项目将重点关注意大利中南部，那里历史悠久的游牧网络包括约 3,000 公里的标志性车道 (tratturi)，自新石器时代早期（公元前 6 个磨坊）起，这里就记录了牧区活动。据我们所知，车道从未使用考古方法进行过直接调查。此外，田园路线与更广泛的考古和历史景观之间的相关性很少得到系统分析。 PathHS 的目标是填补这一知识空白。通过结合景观考古学、景观历史、民族考古学、地球科学、古植物学和地理空间分析，PaTHS 将揭示特拉图里的历史以及田园景观和环境的演变，以促进良好的管理实践并为未来的政策提供信息。
