Abstract
We show how C-14 dating may be combined with palynological and paleoge ographical research to correlate human occupation history with environ mental change, focusing on archaeological sites in the Dvina-Lovat Riv er region of Russia. Cultures in this region range from Early Neolithi c to the Middle Ages, ca. 5500 BC-AD 100, based on calibrated C-14 age s. The dynamics of water basins in the region, related to climatic cha nge, are one cause of population migration.
