What is it about?
This paper discusses the vegetal landscape surrounding Cantabrian archaeological sites in relation with the major vegetation dynamics outlined in MIS 2 high-resolution pollen records from SW Europe, the available woody resources, and the human exploitation of these plant communities throughout the Late Upper Palaeolithic.

Why is it important?
This paper perfectly describes the human adaptations to changing enviroments developping various economic strategies based on mobility following the itinerant paths of animal an phenological cycles of plants as major strategy of survival under unfavourable environmental conditions.
Perspectives
This line of research is still valid in new charcoal studies in the area
