No full textFrom Wilderness to Pasture - Bronze Age Grazing Landscapes in Thy, Northwest Denmark
No full textSince the 1990s, when S. T. Andersen and B. Odgaard compared pollen records from western Jutland and Thy, it has been clear that the rise in heathland pollen percentages at Lake Solsø in west Jutland and the increase in grassland pollen in the Lake Ove diagram from Thy represent parallel phenomena. Beginning with the Single Grave culture, the grasslands of Thy expanded significantly, reaching their peak during the Early Bronze Age due to population growth. In the pollen record from Lake Ove, this grassland expansion is subsequently followed by an increase in heathland during the Late Bronze Age. This article explores the relationship between human activity and landscape development, drawing on a new quantitative landscape reconstruction based on pollen data from Lake Ove. Particular attention is given to the formation of grasslands and heathlands during the Bronze Age.More than five thousand years ago, the Neolithic communities of Northern Europe began to expand the open heather-based ecosystem that we know as heathlands. Through a combination of fire and grazing their livestock, humans cleared the post-glacial forests and expanded the niche for Calluna vulgaris (heather) and other heathland plants. Heather, an evergreen shrub, served as a vital resource – for winter grazing, for fuel, for tools, for thatch, for byre-bedding, and as fertiliser. The multiple affordances of heather meant that the Calluna heathlands, over time, became deeply embedded in the evolving domestic and funerary architecture. In these heathland landscapes, wide networks of mobility, transhumance and exchange developed
