The subject of this research project is the study of plant remains in connection with the Iron Age settlement of Gran Carro, near Bolsena, one of the most important submerged archaeological sites known to date in Italy. For this reason, this project will be carried out by a multidisciplinary team of palaeobotanists, palynologists, and archaeologists. A more general objective is to reconstruct the vegetational dynamics in central Italy during the first millennium BC, with a particular focus on human impact on the landscape, as well as on the Late Holocene climate changes. In particular, the project aims to identify the plants were most used by man in central Italy during the Iron Age, the extent of vegetation change in relation to anthropogenic activity, and the effects of climate changes on the vegetation landscape and human societies at the transition between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, a time period known to have been affected by rapid changes in atmospheric circulation. Reconstructing the influence of human activity and climate on the environment throughout millennia is a fundamental for a better evaluation of ecosystems responses to the ongoing and predicted climate change.
