VEGETATION

VEGETATION
   The vegetation of Etruria is a relatively understudied area of research, complicated by the fact that the major pollen cores were located in deep volcanic lakes whose vegetation may not have been typical of Etruria as a whole. Four of these lakes have produced pollen sequences that show clearance of vegetation from their often steep internal slopes during the last 2,500 years, at least in part coinciding with the later Etruscan period. Other reconstructions of vegetation have to be inferred from limited paleobotanical studies from Etruscan settlements recording vine, olive, and cereal production.
