Abstract

Charcoal samples from the Colbricon open air sites 3, 7, 8A and 9 (north-eastern Italian Alps) were dated. The AMS calibrated 14C ages obtained, while confirming the cultural attribution of the sites to the early Mesolithic, indicate an adaptive change between the earliest and the latest sites. Author suggests this change, clearly evidenced by differences in settlement typology, could be linked to the environmental modifications occurred at the Preboreal-Boreal transition. This hypothesis is also supported when evidences from other northeastern Italian early Mesolithic sites are compared.
