Abstract
[Climate and vegetation changes during late Holocene in El Calvero de la Higuera (Pinilla del Valle, Madrid). New data pollen] The results of palynological analyses of the late Holocene sequence of the Navalmaillo Rockshelter (PV-NA1) into El Calvero de la Higuera (Pinilla del Valle, Madrid) archaeopalaeontological site are presented. The relations with pollen data of Cueva de la Buena Pinta (PV�CBP) from the same archaeopalaeontological site, have allowed to distinguish several phases of both vegetation dynamics and climate changes. These are inferred by the development and regression of regional Pinus forest and of the spread of open landscape which was determined by Asteraceae, Chenopodiaceae and Poaceae. Although the climate should be the main factor of the vegetation dinamics, the changes detected in the interval 1.920 ± 40 BP could be the result of both climate and human interactions.
