Evaluation of human impact on vegetation and the determination of areas cleared from forests in southern Scandinavia during Late Mesolithic and Neolithic times.

Jennbert, Kristina LU orcid (1992) 8. p.69-78

Abstract in Undetermined
The questions dealt with in the course of this workshop are greatly complex.

A socio-cultural perspective of human beings and their societies living thousands of years ago is stressed. A sound understanding of these people’s way of life is the most important prerequisite for all research... (More)
