Abstract
⺠Charcoal fragments found in a small mine are argued to be evidence for the use of fire-setting during prehistory. ⺠Dendrochronological analyses of the charcoal samples yielded calendar dates in the late 8th century BC. ⺠Selective wood procurement - only softwood species and primarily stem wood of limited diameter was common. ⺠The demand for wood for fire-setting activities was limited and could be met by exploiting only local forests.
