Antracologia degli insediamenti paleolitici nella penisola italiana. Nuovi dati per la ricostruzione del paleoambiente durante il würm (’)

Abstract

In the present anthracological work, 10 palaeolithic sites in Northern Italy and 2 in Southern Italy are considered. They are belonging to middle and upper Würm and to Late glacial. We suggest, as reconstruction of ancient vegetation and landscape: in the subalpine area, during the pleniglacial phase, some microthermic species are in progress, the most important of which was Larix; in Southern Italy (Campania), there was a greater range of species during the WUrm, but mediterranean taxa were not present; perhaps, they were restricted to a narrow belt near the Tlrrenlan cost.ã 1992 Taylor & Francis. © 1992 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
