Abstract

This paper completes the pollen analysis of a 300 cm-deep peaty deposit in Sierra del Aljibe_ Alcornocales Natural Park. The pollen percentage diagram is discussed again in terms of palaeoecology, to wich radiocarbon dating contributes especially. From the results, together with those from a review of literature of studies of northern Morocco (with similar ecological and historical feature to the area studied), it is concluded that there is a different territorial custom on both side of the strait.
