Abstract
The use of mountain environments is a recurrent, although not universal, feature of the Mesolithic across Europe. However, synthesis of this material is rare. This means that it is difficult to assess whether regional variation in archaeological evidence is a product of different activities in the past, different research traditions, different post-depositional landscape histories, or—most likely—complex local combinations of all three. To help move past this problem, we provide a comparative approach to the mountain Mesolithic of Western Austria, Southern Norway, Scotland, and the Swiss Alps. For each region, we provide an overview of how sites have been found and what kinds of evidence is present. This allows us to present some comparable and contrasting aspects of the evidence at a European level. In turn, this perspective reinforces the importance of particular kinds of archaeological practice, especially in terms of survey and public engagement, and to highlight potential threats to this archaeological resource.
