Abstract

In this study, a 65 cm long core was obtained for pollen analysis from Lake Marmara situated in thc west of Tiirkiyc. The bottom sediment was dated by one AMS radiocarbon date on bulk organic carbon. Thus, the core providcys information about thc vegetation history of thc lake for thc last 700 years. Palynological evidence indicates that thc vegetation around the lake basin was dominated by Quercus (evergreen oaks) and Pinus. The presence of Olea, Juglans, and Poaceac pollen grains reveals that this forest vegetation was interrupted from time to time by human impact. Thc existence of thc non-Arboreal Tara:racum and Plantago in the uppermost zones of the pollen diagram also indicates grazing or deterioration of the vegetation cover in this region from 1568 AD to thc present.
