Abstract
Val Canale is a strategic mountain passage in north-east Italy, with Austria to the north and Slovenia to the east. It mostly adheres to the topography of the valley of the River Fella, but also includes part of the Tagliamento River Valley and the Silizza or Gailitz River Valleys. The Val Canale area contains many military and archaeological sites, especially on the summits and at the bases of the adjacent Julian and Carnic Alps. The complex challenges of investigating the Val Canale require the interdisciplinary approach of modern conflict archaeology. The municipality of Malborghetto-Valbruna lies in the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia in north-east Italy, whose triple-barrelled name reveals the cultural and geographical complexity of the area. The decline of the iron market, several incursions by the Ottoman Turks, and territorial claims made by the Republic of Venice marked a change in the political and military use of Val Canale between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries.
