Exploring the past through lynchet landscapes in the Vosges Mountains and the Lorraine Plateau (France)
Lynchets are ridges formed by erosion and sediment accumulation downstream of agricultural plots and offer valuable insights into past agricultural activity. These microtopographies cover vast areas and serve as indicators of historical changes in land use. As a result, their ubiquity across Europe makes them particularly interesting. In this study, we propose a geoarchaeological approach to analyze six lynchets, four in the Vosges Mountains and …
Paleoenvironmental study of modern charcoal making activity on forest soils in the Northern Vosges Mountains (Bitche, France)
This multidisciplinary study aims to decipher the impact of ancient charcoal production on past and present‐day soils in the northern Vosges Mountains. Soil observations in the field and laboratory were complemented by charcoal and phytolith studies on large thin sections, molecular analyses of organic pollutants, and phytolith analysis on bulk samples. The complex technosol platform records an ancient natural soil sequence buried by a human‐made…
Relation de dépendance mutuelle et théorie des catégories
As it is Tribute to John Stewart our remarks refer to a working group which met regularly at the UTC and at the IHPST between 2014 and 2016 and which had as central concern the modeling of living organization and the development of certain mathematical formalisms favorable to this modeling. First, we briefly recall the heart of the work carried out by this informal working group. Then in a second step, we evoke in more detail the position of John…
Holocene vegetation history in the Northern Vosges Mountains (NE France)
Palynological data from the Northern Vosges Mountains (NVM) are very rare, unlike for the Southern and Central Vosges Mountains, where the past vegetation history is relatively well known. As a consequence, the beginning of human activities has never been clearly identified and dated in the NVM. In order to reconstruct the evolution of vegetation in this region, multiproxy studies (pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs, sedimentological and geochemical…
Anthracological analyses of charcoal production sites at a high spatial resolution
A comparative review of soil charcoal data
The nutrient-poor grasslands of Western Europe are of major conservation concern because land use changes threaten their high biodiversity. Studies assessing their characteristics show that their past and on-going dynamics are strongly related to human activities. Yet, the initial development patterns of this specific ecosystem remain unclear. Here, we examine findings from previous paleoecological investigations performed at local level on Europ…
The influence of historic land-use changes on hillslope erosion and sediment redistribution
Agricultural societies around the world have dramatically altered the natural landscape, particularly through accelerated soil erosion. The expansion of agricultural land use into steeper headwater areas during the Medieval period in central Europe is known to have caused large increases in soil erosion and sediment redistribution downstream. Although land-use practices changed and improved following this initial impact, it is currently unknown w…
Charcoal
Contribution to the reconstruction of central European fire history, based on the soil charcoal analysis of study sites in northern and central Germany
Wood charcoal from an inland dune complex at Joldelund (Northern Germany). Information on Holocene vegetation and landscape changes
Towards mutual understanding within interdisciplinary palaeoenvironmental research
Pedoanthracological contribution to forest naturalness assessment
Complementary use of pedoanthracology and peat macro-charcoal analysis for fire history assessment
Woodland history in the upper Harz Mountains revealed by kiln site, soil sediment and peat charcoal analyses
Fire and forest history of central European low mountain forest sites based on soil charcoal analysis
Long-term environmental changes in some areas of Central Europe are still poorly documented due to the lack of archives suitable for well-established paleoecological approaches. However, paleorecords of such areas would provide important insights into the Holocene vegetation history of Central Europe. To contribute to fill this gap, we conducted soil charcoal analyses to investigate fire and forest history for the eastern Harz Mountains (Germany)…
Fire and vegetation history of a low mountain range in central Germany
Investigation of the Holocene fire history of Northern Germany using charcoal records with various spatial resolutions and from various archive types
Settlement and environmental history of a multilayered settlement mound in Niederröblingen (central Germany) – a multi-proxy approach
Neolithic human impact on landscapes related to megalithic structures
Pedoanthracology
Assessing Holocene vegetation and fire history by a multiproxy approach
The woodland history of the forest of Stodthagen (northern Germany) was investigated by using complementary palaeobotanical indicators. Six soil profiles from the study plot were sampled, the wood charcoal pieces extracted from the soil samples were quantified, taxonomically identified, and some were radiocarbon dated. Peat sequences from a small adjacent mire were also sampled and the pollen, microcharcoal, and macrocharcoal were analysed. The p…
