The Fertile Crescent in the Middle East has been favored by man for settlement and agriculture since the beginning of the Holocene. Since Neolithic times the area has also been important for plant and animal exploitation. In the last decade archaeologists began to study the cultural remains of Iraqi Kurdistan. The cultural remains in this region are characterized by the high number and density of multi-periodic tell sites. For the Irano-Turanian bioclimatic region archaeobotanists recently questioned the scientific doctrine that the primary natural vegetation has been devastated to its present state by man. Instead, it is assumed, that the earliest settlers managed the landscape already when plants remigrated from their glacial refugia, so that the Holocene vegetation was always the result of human management. However, in contrast to the archaeological wealth, natural archives to investigate man-environment interaction are scarce in Iraqi Kurdistan. Therefore, here we suggest a pilot study 'Lake Ganau in the Rania Plain in Iraqi Kurdistan. A new limnic archive for palaeoenvironmental studies and the investigation of man-environment interaction' on a new archive for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, i.e. the limnic sediments from Lake Ganau in Iraqi Kurdistan. We will retrieve sediment cores from the lake bottom and perform preliminary archaeobotanical analyses and numeric dating. The overall aim is to test the suitability of the Lake Ganau sediment cores for future research, which may include high-resolution palynological analyses as well as further palaeobiolimnic, physico-chemical and isotopic investigations that are suitable to reconstruct the landscape at the transition from the last glacial to the Holocene as well as the Holocene man-inhabited palaeoenvironment.

自全新世开始以来，中东的肥沃新月一直受到人类和农业的青睐。由于新石器时代，该地区对于动植物的剥削也很重要。在过去的十年中，考古学家开始研究伊拉克库尔德斯坦的文化遗骸。该地区的文化残留物的特征是多周期性叙事地点的数量和密度很高。对于伊朗 - 三个人的生物气候地区考古学家来说，最近质疑科学的学说，即主要的自然植被已被人类摧毁其目前的状态。取而代之的是，假定最早的定居者在植物从其冰川避难所移居时已经管理了景观，因此全新世植被始终是人类管理的结果。然而，与考古财富相反，伊拉克库尔德斯坦稀缺的自然档案是调查人类环境互动的自然档案。因此，我们在这里建议在伊拉克库尔德斯坦的拉尼亚平原上进行一项试点研究'Ganau湖。一部新的limnic档案档案，用于古环境研究和对环境互动的调查”。我们将从湖底检索沉积物核心，并进行初步的考古分析和数字约会。总体目的是测试Ganau湖沉积物核心对未来研究的适用性，其中可能包括高分辨率的旧生物学分析以及进一步的古生物，物理化学和同位素研究，适合于从最后一次熟悉全新的Palae-Palae-Palae-Palae-Palaeenciron中重建景观。
