Palynology in Archaeological Research

Archaeological palynology is the study of ancient pollen that is preserved in a few particular archaeological deposits or in natural deposits that can be related to archaeological events by dating. The on-site study of pollen from archaeological deposits can show what the vegetation around the site was like or what plant materials were deposited there. The off-site study of pollen from natural deposits such as lake sediments can show what the effects of human activity were on the surrounding landscape at various times.
