 abstract={Changes in the local vegetation at Pleszów in the settlement period of the Linear Pottery and Lengyel cultures are described on the basis of fluctuations in the number of species representing various communities in successive settlement phases and breaks between them. Ecological index numbers are applied for the reconstruction of the environmental conditions prevailing in the areas which at that time could be used to grow cereals and graze the livestock. The results of these analyses permitted a more detailed interpretation of the pollen diagram described in previous papers, thus providing more information about the changes in the environment, significant from the viewpoint of agriculture, in the Neolithic. Special attention was given to the agriculture of the Lengyel population on the basis of materials from the sites at Pleszów and Mogiła. The possibility to grow spring wheat in higher situations on the valley floor and on the slopes and to graze domestic animals in meadows and fallows in the valley has been pointed out. The finding of beetles associated with pastures by Pawłowski is a direct evidence of the utilization of the valley floor for grazing. The burning of stubble fields is considered to have been very probable. Between 4500 and 2800 B.C. there were four periods of increased moisture of the valley floor, coinciding with falls in human indicator plants in the pollen diagram and correlated, on the basis of 14C dates, with the abandonment of the settlements situated on the loess terrace},
