Abstract
Charcoal analysis of seventeen archaeological sites in Catalonia (nort h-east of Spain) gives an approach to the Holocenic vegetation history for this area. We establish four regionals patterns for the vegetatio n evolution : interior non continental, north-mediterranean, south-med iterranean and interior continental. We also notice the effects of ant hropic action and the ancient distribution of particular species : Ole a europeae, Fagus sylvatica, Pinus halepensis, Quercus suber.
