Descrição: This article presents new research on pre-Roman mobility in the Umbro-Marchigian Apennines (Central Italy). The Apennines have traditionally been described as a junction of roads along which all kinds of materials were transported and traded, but little attention has been paid to how mobile local pre- and protohistoric communities were (Neolithic-Metal Ages), to what extent they made use of the different altitude zones, and which raw materials played a role in this. This contribution examines the integration of the high mountains into the land use of early farmers and pastoralists. Climate developments, settlement patterns and the accessibility of natural resources are linked to traditional trans-Apennine (pastoral) routes and vegetation data. A key role in these longterm dynamics is played by the ‘hard cheese revolution’, which is thought to have occurred in the Bronze or Iron Age. This innovation, using salt to preserve cheese, opened up new opportunities both for seasonal high-mountain livestock farming and for the wider distribution of dairy products.
