英文摘要: In southwest Asia, the accelerated impact of human activities on the landscape has often been linked to the development of fully agricultural societies during the middle and late Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) period (around 10.2–7.9 ka cal. BP). This work contributes to the debate on the environmental impact of the so-called Neolitisation process by identifying the climatic and anthropogenic factors that contributed to change local and regional vegetation at the time when domesticated plants appeared and developed in southern Syria (around 10.7–9.9 ka cal. BP). In this work a multidisciplinary analysis of plant microremains (pollen and phytoliths) and macroremains (wood charcoal) is carried out along with stable carbon isotope discrimination of wood charcoals in an early PPNB site (Tell Qarassa North, west of the Jabal al-Arab area). Prior to 10.5 ka cal. BP, the results indicate a dynamic equilibrium in the local and regional vegetation, which comprised woodland-steppe, Mediterranean evergreen oak-woodlands, wetland vegetation and coniferous forests. Around 10.5–9.9 ka cal. BP, the elements that regulated the vegetation system changed, resulting in reduced proportions of arboreal cover and the spread of cold-tolerant and wetlands species. Our data show that reinforcing interaction between the elements of the anthropogenic (e.g. herding, fire-related activities) and climatic systems (e.g. temperature, rainfall) contributed to the transformation of early Holocene vegetation during the emergence of fully agricultural societies in southern Syria. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd
资助项目: This work is dedicated to Lydia Zapata, for her support, encouragement and commitment to Tell Qarassa North project. The wood charcoal analyses were conducted by Amaia Arranz-Otaegui during her PhD research at the University of the Basque Country and with the financial support of the Basque Government (Pre-doctoral grant number: BFI.09.249) and the UPV/EHU: Research Group IT622-13/UFI 11-09. Marta Portillo is part of the Prehistory Consolidated Research Team at the UPV/EHU IT-622-13. Her research is currently funded by the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie action MICROARCHAEODUNG (H2020-MSCA-IF-2015-702529). Andrea Balbo has worked on this paper on a Research Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (ARiD). The Qarassa project was carried out thanks to the authorisation of the General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums of Syria. The project was funded by the Spanish Institute of Cultural Heritage (Ministry of Culture), the Ministry of Science and Innovation (R + D Projects: BHA2003-09685-CO2-01, HUM2007-66128-C02-01, HUM2007-66128-C02-02 and HAR2013-47480-P), and the Government of Catalonia (EXCAVA2006 Programme), Gerda Henkel, Palarq and Shelby White-Leon Levy Foundations.
