Palaeoecological signals for Mesolithic land use in a Central European landscape?
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2022-05-12)
During the Early Holocene, climate was the major factor causing fires, but whether during the Mesolithic (~11.5–7.4 cal ka BP) people co‐shaped their environment by means of fire remains of debate. Few studies have tackled ... -
