The Montevecchio-Ingurtosu area (Sardinia SW) was one of the most important mining districts for Pb and Zn in Sardinia. For its very important cultural and industrial heritage this area, located in a natural context of scenic beauty, is included in the Geo-mining Park of Sardinia, sponsored by the Unesco. The field trip included the visit of fascinating examples of industrial archeology (Piccalinna plants and the village of Montevecchio) and areas where the natural environment is degraded by mine wastes weathering (Casargiu stope and Rio Naracauli). The field trip ran in a natural context of spectacular beauty in front of the Mediterranean Sea (giant sand dunes and the woody habitat of Sardinian deer, a rare endemic species).

Abstract
The Montevecchio-Ingurtosu area (Sardinia SW) was one of the most important mining districts for Pb and Zn in Sardinia. For its very important cultural and industrial heritage this area, located in a natural context of scenic beauty, is included in the Geo-mining Park of Sardinia, sponsored by the Unesco. The field trip included the visit of fascinating examples of industrial archeology (Piccalinna plants and the village of Montevecchio) and areas where the natural environment is degraded by mine wastes weathering (Casargiu stope and Rio Naracauli). The field trip ran in a natural context of spectacular beauty in front of the Mediterranean Sea (giant sand dunes and the woody habitat of Sardinian deer, a rare endemic species).
