Abstract


The palynological study of the La Combette rockshelter gives us information on the evolution of the vegetation surrounding the rock shelter area during the Upper Pleistocene (isotopic stage 3). Although widely dominated by Pinus sylvestris t. , mediterranean species are also present in the different climatic phases revealed by the catalysis. This confirms the refuge character of the area.
