Comparison between environmental conditions reconstructed from the off-site Fimon PD palaeoecological record covering the 60–27 ka interval and cultural proxies from selected archaeological sites (NE-Italy). The records are plotted on their own time scale. Key to the panels: (a) Fimon PD synthetic pollen record; (b) Sketch of the changes in dominant vegetation formations through time; (c) Fimon PD interpolated charcoal accumulation rates (pieces cm−2 year−1) (black histograms), fire frequency (red line) and statistically significant local fire events plotted as red “ + ”symbols; (d) Broion shelter, San Bernardino cave (Berici Hills) and Fumane cave (Lessini Mountains) cultural and chronological sequences27,69,70,71.
