本文介绍了考古木炭组合从两个集群的新石器时代遗址在温带欧洲，这揭示了木柴收购领域的选择的差异。我们推进和测试的假设，柴火收集区和日常行程之间存在联系，使用两个可比的，但时间和空间上不同的，案例研究。第一个是比利时中部的赫斯巴耶，新石器时代早期的占领由公元前5200年至5000年的两个定居阶段组成（Linearbankeramik文化）。第二个时期是新石器时代晚期，法国东部的法国汝拉（Jura）桩式住宅被占领。在Hesbaye，木柴供应区受到限制，有利于需光物种的迅速发展，而在汝拉，这一地区似乎更广泛，那里没有明显的需光物种。我们假设，有一个紧密的空间收敛之间的木柴采集区和潜在的耕地在Hesbaye和法国汝拉。因此，本案例研究解决了木柴管理和社会经济背景之间的潜在联系，并表明，每日行程的概念，提高了我们的理解木炭组合及其古生态解释。(C)2014 Elsevier Inc.

This paper presents archaeological charcoal assemblages from two clusters of Neolithic sites in temperate Europe, which reveal differences in the choice of firewood acquisition areas. We advance and test the hypothesis that there is a link between firewood gathering areas and daily travelled itineraries, using two comparable, but temporally and spatially distinct, case studies. The first of these is the Hesbaye in central Belgium where the Early Neolithic occupation is made up of two settlement phases from between 5200 and 5000 BC (Linearbankeramik culture). The second is the Late Neolithic occupation of the French Jura pile-dwellings in eastern France. In Hesbaye, the firewood supply area is restricted, favouring the rapid development of light-demanding species, while this area appears to be more extensive in the Jura where there is no clear development of light-demanding taxa. We postulate that there is a close spatial convergence between firewood gathering areas and potential cultivated land in Hesbaye and the French Jura. This case study therefore addresses the potential links between firewood management and the socio-economic context and demonstrates that the concept of daily itineraries enhances our understanding of charcoal assemblages and their palaeoecological interpretations.
