在欧洲最古老的新石器时代遗址之一Dikili Tash（希腊东马其顿）周围进行的孢粉学和沉积学调查，提高了我们对晚更新世至新石器时代（该地区公元前6500-3200 cal）古环境演变的理解。虽然全球气候重建研究的基础上的Tenaghi-Philippon花粉记录的研究，位于5-8公里的告诉，集中在区域或全球范围内的驱动力的环境，我们试图使用的沼泽边缘的沉积物档案来描述的新石器化过程和相关的环境变化的背景。我们的目的是提供新的数据在全新世早期的环境变化相结合的花粉，非花粉palynomorphs（NPPs）和沉积学分析与考古学信息进行比较。这些数据概述了新石器时代之前的原始环境，以及此后人类对当地低地地区植被覆盖的第一次影响。两个新的花粉记录分别位于距离考古遗址1.75公里（Dik 4）和150米（Dik 12）处，提供了人类农牧活动的第一个证据，这些活动与新石器时代早期社区有关，至少在公元前6400 cal，大大早于Tenaghi-Philippon沼泽参考花粉图中观察到的，该图显示了公元前第二个千年的第一次人类影响。诚然，这种对遗址周围局部地区的影响不能外推到区域范围，这就提出了以前记录的空间代表性问题。它还表明，需要开发多标量调查，以评估气候变化和人类活动对景观的影响，在巴尔干半岛东南部的新石器时代定居的最早阶段。(C)2015年爱思唯尔有限公司和INQUA。All rights reserved.
Palynological and sedimentological investigations carried out around the tell of Dikili Tash (Eastern Macedonia, Greece), one of the oldest Neolithic sites in Europe, improve our understanding of the evolution of the paleoenvironment from the Late Pleistocene to the Neolithic period (6500-3200 cal BC in this region). While global climate reconstructions researches based on the study of the Tenaghi-Philippon pollen record, located 5-8 km from the tell, have focused on forces that drive the environment at regional or global scales, we attempt to use the sediment archives on the edge of the marsh to describe the context of the Neolithization process and related environmental changes. Our aim is to provide new data on environmental change during the Early Holocene by combining pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs) and sedimentological analyses to be compared with archaeological information. The data give an overview of the original environment prior to the Neolithic and thereafter a comprehensive view of the first human impacts on the vegetation cover in local lowland areas. Two new pollen records located respectively 1.75 km (Dik4) and 150 m (Dik12) from the archaeological site provide the first evidence of human agropastoral activities on the landscape associated with the Early Neolithic communitiessince at least 6400 cal BC, largely earlier than observed in the reference pollen diagram in the Tenaghi-Philippon marsh which shows a first human impact from the second millennium cal BC. Admittedly, such impact on the local area around the site cannot be extrapolated to a regional scale, raising question of the spatial representativeness of the previous records. It also shows the need to develop multi-scalar investigations to assess the impact of climatic change and human activities on the landscape during the earliest phase of the Neolithic settlement in southeastern Balkans.
