Abstract. This paper aims to reconstruct Middle Bronze Age (MBA; 1600–1250 BCE) land use practices in the northwestern Alpine foreland (SW Germany, Hegau). We used a multi-proxy approach including analysis of biogeochemical proxies from colluvial deposits and buried topsoils surroundings well-documented settlement site Anselfingen off-site pollen data two peat bogs. allowed for in-depth insights into MBA subsistence economy shows that was period establishing settlements with sophisticated...

Colluvial deposits, as the correlate sediments of human-induced soil erosion, depict an excellent archive land use and landscape history indicators human–environment interactions. This study establishes a chronostratigraphy colluvial deposits reconstructs past dynamics in Swabian Jura, Baar Black Forest SW Germany. In agriculturally favourable area multiple main phases deposition, thus intensified use, can be identified from Neolithic to Modern times. unfavourable Jura increased deposition...

Abstract The Black Forest is considered to be a rather unfavorable area, having short vegetation period, low mean annual temperatures, high precipitation, and pronounced relief. These conditions do not favor agricultural land use thus it widely accepted that people only began using the intensively during Middle Ages. In this integrated study 17 soil profiles, two peat bogs database of archaeological finds were used reconstruct past impacts on environment. AMS– 14 C datings charcoals,...

Abstract Looking at soils from the perspective of an environmental scientist or agronomist might neglect various dimensions valuation that can be attributed to soils. Especially social and cultural connoted values including ecosystem services cannot always measured in terms scientific classified as soil types qualities a modern, economic way. Even though are fact have been present on Earth's surface used by people, least for food production, different times cultures, ways dealing with...

In the northern Alpine foreland, there was a shift at transition from Early Bronze Age (EBA, 2200–1600 BCE) to Middle (MBA, 1600–1250 BCE). This associated with widespread abandonment of pile-dwelling settlements around pre-Alpine lakes and an expansion intensification low- mid-altitude inland settlements. A research gap exists regarding nature MBA subsistence in these areas, which are considered unfavourable for agriculture. We analysed multi-layered colluvial alluvial deposits...
