古环境和历史方法经常被分开使用来调查过去的土地利用变化，但它们仍然很少结合起来，特别是在最合适的档案是沉积物序列的地方。在这里，我们使用了一种跨学科的方法，结合了对西班牙西北部萨摩斯中世纪本笃会修道院周围两个土壤沉积序列的多代理古环境研究。使用OSL表观年龄、传统OSL和放射性碳年龄建立了一个可靠的年表，并用于测定地球化学和孢粉代用物的年代，然后对这些代用物进行分析，同时对中世纪和现代教会记录进行详尽的历史回顾。目的是以历时的方式重建该地区的农业历史，并加深对古环境和历史来源之间相互作用的理解。我们展示了利用地质考古学、孢粉学和书面资料共同解决土地利用变化的物理和社会经济方面的潜在价值。
Palaeoenvironmental and historical approaches have often been used separately to investigate past land-use change, but they are still rarely combined, especially in places where the most suitable archives are sediment sequences. Here we used a transdisciplinary approach combining a multiproxy palaeoenvironmental study of two pedosedimentological sequences around a medieval Benedictine abbey at Samos in north-west Spain. A robust chronology was built using OSL apparent ages, conventional OSL and radiocarbon ages and used to date geochemical and palynological proxies which were then analysed alongside an exhaustive historical review of medieval and modern ecclesiastical records. The aims were to reconstruct the agrarian history of the place in a diachronic way and to deepen understanding of the interplay between palaeoenvironmental and historical sources. We demonstrate the potential value of using geoarchaeology, palynology and written sources together to address both the physical and socioeconomic aspects of land-use change.
