Abstract
Charcoals from three Neolithic sites were examined and the results wer e compared with charcoal spectra from natural sediments of the same ag e as well as with the results of pollen analysis. ft has been shown th at charcoal preserved in oxbow lake sediments reflects forest clearanc es by Neolithic farmers. Common trees, having wood of good quality and growing in terrains easily accessible to people, were mostly used by inhabitants of the examined settlements.
