Abstract
Heathland is a typical vegetation formation of Western France (Armoric a). The greater part of it has a regressive dynamism. There are about ten woody indigenous Papillonaceae. Microscopic charcoal anatomical an alysis allows one to distinguish : broom and gorse. Charcoal and polle n analysis applied to archaeological sites, wet lands and peat bogs fi x the begining of the regressive heathland in the middle Neolithic and a growing expansion with the Iron Age.
