Abstract:

A reconstruction of the palaeoenvironmental conditions at Dudka, an island of the early and middle Holocene in the former Great Masurian Lake, is presented in relation to the history of human settlement. The paper explores all changes, even very weak, in order to interpret the interaction between man and the environment during the Mesolithic and aspects of geomorphology, hydrology, climate, vegetation and fauna through time are discussed. For many generations prehistoric people came to camp on Dudka island, that was included in their annual round for its resources of fish, tortoise, birds and edible plants; these were exploited on a seasonal basis, during discrete periods from early spring to early autumn
