Abstract
Influence of prehistoric cultures upon the initiation and spread of blanket bog in Upland Wales
Peter D Moore
350 - 353
SH 628222. Pollen was extracted from shallow peat at 1000ft OD near the Carneddau Hengwm Neolithic burial chambers in Merionethshire. The analyses indicate a series of episodes of human activity which accelerated the reduction of damp woodland into an area of blanket bog. The forest canopy was opened up and some plants introduced as a result of grazing animals. There is also evidence for climatic deterioration. See also 73/2064.
Thorne Moor Yorkshire: a palaeoecological study of a Bronze Age site

SE 730160. Beetle fauna from a Bronze Age trackway in peat 15km NE of Doncaster included some species which do not now live as far north as Yorkshire, and others which are now exotic to England. The reasons for this change in distribution are partly climatic, but were much exacerbated by reduction of habitat due to human clearance of forest. The trackway, 14C dated to early 2nd millennium BC (uncorrected), was necessitated by increasing waterlogging of the area, which first stopped agricultural work and then killed the remaining trees; the cause may have been land-form changes at the mouth of the Humber which caused freshwater backing.
