Paper long abstract:

The abstract document years of filed research during it was identified by me a route of ancient Palaeolitich hunters that from the Veneto plain ascended during the summer season for the ibex and chamois hunting in the altitude grasslands on the Eastern Alps (Monte Baldo-Oetztal). This way was the main direction for the process of colonization in the central area of Trentino - Alto Adige/Südtirol. This Palaeolitich track is durability: prehistoric pastoral transhumance, the probable route path from Oetzi, the Iceman, the itineraries of current transit with same animals (sheets and goats). The nomadic men, that have crossed this territory, have changed it only slightly, allowing so the discovery of their labile tracks (archeological and cultural), that allow to understand the ideology in relation to landscape and nature around them: they were ecologist and cultivated the biodiversity. The prehistoric nomads, hunters and shepherd, have diffused an idea of landscape that currently we found in the people hunter-gatherers through the root of placenames and the religious assignment to the nature conceived ad Mother Goodness.
