The ancient charcoal kilns of the Aosta Valley were structures used for the production of charcoal through the controlled combustion of wood. These charcoal kilns, locally called "pojat", were built on natural or artificial sites, sometimes supported by walls downstream, and were lit cyclically during the spring months.
