Anotace: Anthracological analyses were carried out on charcoal platforms located in the Monte Cimone

and Corno alle Scale mountain areas in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines (Northern Italy), at high
altitude. Analyses of charcoal fragments contained in these man-made structures have allowed the
reconstruction of human-forest relationships over the last centuries, in particular the exploitation of
forests for charcoal production. Comparison of our anthracological results with ethnobotanical and
historical-social information has made possible an improvement in our knowledge of this activity that
was fundamental for the past mountain economy
