A study of fossil plant remains at the archaeological site in Lomilla (Aguilar de Campoo, Palencia, Spain)

Abstract

The discovery of a site with abundant fossil plant remains in the surroundings of Aguilar de Campoo (Palencia, Spain), dated in the early Holocene, allowed us to obtain new data on the composition of foreste in that área. Two species of Pinus and several broadleaved trees have been identified. A wider distribution than the current one for some of these taxa has been confirmed. The ecological requirements of these species today allow the probable Palaeoecological conditions during the Holocene to be established.
