Abstract
Between c. 2 and c. 1Â ky cal. BP, and on both sites, deforestation and grazing practices are inferred from pollen records. No cultivated plants are recorded in this region. In this view, these Holocene data illustrate important differences in patterns of human activity in comparison with other areas located in the Eastern Mediterranean, where cultivated olive trees and forests decline are well identified. From c. 1Â ky cal. BP into the modern period, increasing human perturbations affected the pollen record on both sites.
