Palynology

From the Ancient Greek ‘palunein’, which means to ‘scatter’, palynology is the study of pollens and fossils. Archaeologists use palynology to date, trace or evaluate the context linked to an object or an era. This discipline also enables retrospective evaluations of the responses made by ecosystems to climate changes and to reconstruct ancient plant populations.
