A team of researchers directed by Dr Eike Gringmuth-Dallmer of the German Archaeological Institute in Berlin proposed to investigate the issue on the example of the lower and middle Oder River basin. On behalf of the Polish side the program was coordinated by the Wroclaw branch of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. With interdisciplinary research as a general assumption, archaeological and natural sciences investigations were undertaken in conjunction with processing of earlier source material, including especially botanical and osteological remains, and importantly palinological analyses. The results of work over a six-year period, from 1994 to 1999, were presented in a collective publication Forschungen zu Mensch und Umwelt im Odergebiet in ur- und frühgeschichtlicher Zeit (Mainz am Rhein 2002). The investigations verified many older opinions concerning anthropogenic change in the natural environment of the Oder River basin from the final Paleolithic to the Middle Ages; they also expanded substantially the source database. The Oder Project is proof that it is essential to consider river function in a broader environmental context, taking into account all the interactions and transformations taking place in the natural and cultural landscapes}, type={Text}, title={Man and environment on the Oder river in prehistoric and early historic times: Polish-German research project}, keywords={man, environment, Oder, prehistory, Middle Ages}, }
