The Occupation History of the Region Between the Dvina and Lovat Rivers in Relation to the Dynamics of Environmental Change

We show how 14 C dating may be combined with palynological and paleogeographical research to correlate human occupation history with environmental change, focusing on archaeological sites in the Dvina–Lovat River region of Russia.

Description
Summary:We show how 14 C dating may be combined with palynological and paleogeographical research to correlate human occupation history with environmental change, focusing on archaeological sites in the Dvina–Lovat River region of Russia. Cultures in this region range from Early Neolithic to the Middle Ages, ca. 5500 bc–ad 100, based on calibrated 14 C ages. The dynamics of water basins in the region, related to climatic change, are one cause of population migration.
