Abstract
On the basis of pollen analysis of profiles from three localities on Wolin Island (southern Baltic), the natural diversity of the vegetation and the anthropogenic changes since the 5th century AD is presented. Attention is drawn to the important part played by the town and port, situated here in the early Middle Ages, in the changes to the natural environment of the whole island. It was found that because of the poor soils on the island, corn probably had to be imported. Preliminary results of the plant macrofossil analysis of the archaeological profile from the early medieval port's quayside, indicate that corn from southern areas was shipped to Wolin; evidence for this is the presence in the fossil material of a group of species from the Caucalidion alliance.
