The Ulten Valley in South Tyrol, Italy: Vegetation and Settlement History of the Area, and Macrofossil Record from the Iron Age Cult Site of St. Walburg

چکیده
Macrofossil analysis of an Iron Age burnt-offering place gave evidence on fully developed agriculture in an area once considered uninhabited prior to the Middle Ages. Further information was acquired on human impact on forest habitats, and on ritual praxis. Pollen, extrafossils, stomata and charcoal analyses from Totenmoos bog show the vegetation development and the human impact in the Ulten Valley since the Bølling.
