Bilan des données anthracologiques du Proche-Orient

Pages 539-551 | Published online: 10 Jul 2014
 

Résumé

Les résultats récents des analyses anthracologiques provenant des sites du Proche et Moyen-Orient montrent que la zone de forât/steppe pénétrait dans la zone de la steppe actuelle au Néolithique et à l'âge du Bronze. Des importations de bois pourraient, en revanche, être responsables de la présence de quelques taxons à faible fréquence. En Mésopotamie, nous avons des indices nets de l'existence d'importations. Ce n'est qu'à partir des périodes historiques que l'on perçoit les premiers indices de déboisement, mais la distinction entre les facteurs climatiques et anthropiques reste problématique.

Summary

Recent data from charcoal analysis of Near and Middle Eastern sites indicate that the forest/steppe zone penetrated into what is now steppe during the Neolithic and Bronze Age. In Mesopotamia we have definite evidence for the importation of timber. It is not until the later historical periods that we begin to see evidence for deforestation, but it is difficult to separate the role of man from that of climatic change as a cause of the change in vegetation.
