| Abstract | Los pastizales de altura de la Cordillera Cantabrica han sido un importante recurso para las comunidades que han ocupado estos territorios a lo largo de los siglos. En este articulo presentamos los resultados iniciales de un proyecto de investigacion que tiene como objetivo comprender los procesos historicos de formacion de los paisajes culturales del Noroeste peninsular. Para ello, se presta especial atencion a los procesos de antropizacion de las zonas de montana, interpretadas en el marco de un sistema de aprovechamiento complementario entre la ganaderia y la agricultura. Los datos para epoca prehistorica ya permiten documentar la utilizacion de estos espacios, aprovechamiento que se intensificara a partir de la Edad Media. La atencion a diversos tipos de fuentes (arqueologicas, documentales, etnograficas y paleoambientales) para este periodo nos permite calibrar la fuerte presion a la que fueron sometidos los espacios de pasto en relacion con los intereses de distintos grupos sociales que competian por su control de cara al desarrollo de distintos modelos de aprovechamiento economico. [ABSTRACT] The upland pastures in the Cantabrian Mountains have been a significant resource for the communities which inhabited this territory during the last centuries. In this paper, the preliminary results of our on-going research project are presented. Our research tries to understand the historical formation processes of the cultural landscapes in the North-West of Iberia. A special attention is paid to the anthropization processes in the mountains, which is discussed in relation to the complementary exploitation system including agricultural and pastoralism practices. The archaeological data allow us to consider the exploitation of the uplands since the Later Prehistory, which will be intensified since the Middle Ages. Taking into consideration of several types of data for the medieval period —such as archaeological remains, written sources, ethnographic information or palaeoenvironmental record— we can assess the important pressure that different social groups performed for controlling the upland pastures. All of them tried to manage the grazing areas management for developing their own economic exploitation model in relation to pastoralism. |
