Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
To complement experimental quantification of the fuel wood demands of early metalworking, pollen analysis was applied in a pilot study of blanket peat deposits adjacent to the copper mine. Results provided circumstantial evidence linking prehistoric human activity at the mine in the Early Bronze Age both to selective woodland removal and upland peat initiation close to the site. Woodland clearances seem to have been relatively small-scale during the inferred period of mining, with limited overall impact, implying either protracted small-scale mining operations, or active management of woodland resources. Future directions for study of the impact of early mining on woodland are suggested. | ||||
