The features are associated with key periods of archaeological interest: plant exploitation (ca. 10,000 cal yr B.P), earliest cultivation (6950-6440 cal yr B.P), and earliest ditches (ca. 4000 cal yr BY). The analyses are designed to clarify uncertainties regarding the reliability and association of different, samples within feature fills for the interpretation of human activities oil the wetland in the past. Methodologically, these investigations have clarified site formation processes, including pedogenesis within feature fills, which enable a better determination of archaeological associations for different samples within those fills. Substantively, the results provide higher resolution interpretations of paleoenvironments past human activities on the wetland margin. specialized 112 064 24 6 715-742 2009 0883-6353 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010048313 10.1002/gea.20283 0883-6353 [F B010048313] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010048313 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2009/11/010048313.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2009-12-03 2017-08-23 fdi:010048313 fre
