Human impact as reflected in the pollen record, with a focus on the Middle Ages
MAREŠOVÁ, Petra
Pollen analysis is an integral part of past vegetation reconstructions based on fossil sedimentary records. This thesis introduces the topics of past vegetation development in the area of Central Europe affected by a combination of climatic events, natural plant dispersal processes, and human impact. A natural site of the former lake Komořany was investigated to address the early periods covering the Late Glacial and majority of the Holocene (~15.6-3.2 ka BP). Moreover, three distinct medieval village sites covering an altitudinal gradient of the Czech territory served for reconstruction of the increased human impact on landscape and vegetation, especially during the High Medieval Period. A multidisciplinary approach including pollen, plant macrofossil, diatom, and palaeozoological record in combination with archaeological finds was employed to track the origins and formation of the cultural landscape, focusing on the medieval transformation.
