Palynological studies - status after first half year

Since the start of the workpackage, three archaeologically-rich Danish sites have been identified as potential sample locations and we are currently in the process of planning field work for this coming spring. The sites of choice reflect a mixture of prehistoric contexts, associated with heath plains and fluvioglacial (sandy) deposits. Sample locations originate from archaeological contexts, as well as natural contexts in the near vicinity of prehistoric features. Additionally, palynological literature has thus far been collected and extensively reviewed. This will be, alongside recently collected geographical data, used for the collection, mapping and analyzing of pollen data across northwest Europe.
