The results were obtained from detailed analyses of 45 samples from 38 archaeological features. Only charred plant remains were taken into account as they are considered contemporaneous with the Middle Bronze Age settlement. Among the cultivated plants, Panicum miliaceum, Triticum dicoccum, Triticum monococcum and Triticum sp. were documented. Among wild plants, several taxa were found, including Chenopodium t. album, Chenopodium sp., Melandrium / Silene, Polygonum lapathifolium and Fallopia convolvulus, among others. In archaeobotanical samples, Geranium sp., cf. Lamiaceae also appeared. In addition, plants typical of grasslands, forests and ruderal areas were noted, such as Coronilla varia, Rumex acetosella, Plantago media, Plantago lanceolata, Stellaria graminea and Hypericum perforatum. These results were compared with data coming from nine ...

However, until the beginning of the 4th millennium BC, they inhabited only small enclaves. This situation changed within the first half of the 4th millennium BC, when the most of the Polish territories became settled by Neolithic groups attributed to the Funnel Beaker culture (TRB). There is a fairly large amount of data on plants cultivated by TRB people. Based on this, one can conclude that mainly Triticum dicoccon, T. monococcum and Hordeum vulgare were grown. T. dicoccon and T. monococcum could be sown together. It should be noted that large amounts of weeds typical of cereal fields have been recorded. It is much more difficult to determine the economic importance of other cultivars because of their low numbers. Nevertheless, the TRB inventories contain remains of

The main research tasks included the characterization of local forests, the determination of the landscape openness near the site and a verification of the presence of xerothermic vegetation in the Atlantic period. The majority of samples came from the Neolithic period, which in Miech ow began in the second half of the VIth millennium BC with the appearance of the Linear Pottery Culture and continued with several occupation phases until the development of the Funnel Beaker and Baden cultures. Younger periods were represented by archaeological features dated to the Late Bronze Age, the Iron Age and the Middle Ages. Therefore, the recovered materials have been valuable sources of information about the local environment near human settlements developed during the second part of the Holocene. The anthracological study has revealed the dominance of open oak forests with Quercus, Pinus sylvestris and Betula during all occupational phases. The presence of feather grass Stipa sp., since the beginning of the settlement, has pointed toward the existence of patches of xerothermic steppe-like vegetation during the Holocene climatic optimum and in younger periods. Also, the molluscan assemblages have shown a dominance of taxa characteristic of open landscapes during the entire occupational sequence. The interdisciplinary results have indicated that due to specific local environmental conditions, the landscape in the vicinity of the settlement remained open in the second half of the Holocene.
