Abstract


Reviews evidence for change from first human settlement to c 3000 bc; considers extent to which hunter-gatherers influenced broad-, as opposed to small-scale change in palaeofloras; how far charcoal may indicate the intentional use of fire; hazel/bog myrtle identification problems; transition to agriculture. Man's role in landscape change remains uncertain.
