Preliminary soil surveys in the Upper Vjosa Valley

We started the hydraulic and land use studies in Upper Vjosa Valley carried out by CeRPHAAL team during May-June 2015.

We have began interviewing local growers about the relationship between snow and the historical irrigation systems; and the ecosystemic services provided by traditional irrigation practices at Cáñar.

We have begun the archaeological survey in the area of "Marquesado del Zenete" (‪‎Sierra Nevada‬) with our Prehistorians colleagues at the University of Granada.

The RICHES project organised a workshop at the Turkish National Library (Ankara, Turkey). MEMOLA Project presented its activities on Cultural Landscapes as places to get involved.

Students of the Archaeology of Architecture from the University of Padova have made different ‪‎routes‬ included in the ‪fortified landscape‬ of the ‪Euganean Hills‬.

Cañar's city council, with the support of the MEMOLA team, and the financial aid of the Alpujarra Local Development Association, started the recovery of a historic route which connected the village with the higher mountains

Students have floated the soil samples taken in the excavation of the ‪Montagnon‬ castle, in ‪ColliEuganei‬

The MEMOLA project supports the initiative of National Park of Sierra Nevada to recuperate the local potato variety called "copo de nieve" (snowflake)

As an academic group we recognise the ethical basis of our work and seek to draw attention to the bi-directional connections across time that have served to enrich and diversify Europe.
