The vegetation around a group of Early Neolithic agricultural settlement sites was reconstructed from local pollen diagrams and a vegetation map valid for 5000 BP was developed. Changes in the vegetation caused by human activity were simulated into a pollen diagram, the correctness of which was tested against the actual diagrams for the area. Based on the simulation, the relation between man and the landscape during the Early Neolithic was outlined. (See also <b>AATA</b> <i>20-32</i>) -- AATA
