Geochemical and particle size analyses, surface scanning magnetic susceptibility, microscopic charcoal counting pollen analysis, have been carried out on two cores from the lower Doubs valley in order to reconstruct land use history. The interpretation of anthropogenic indicators micro-charcoal deposits is discussed relation lithological variation sedimentary accumulation evolution settlement. environmental changes which occurred during 1st 6th century AD reflect impact human activities landscape immediate surroundings site. Multiproxy indicate that soil erosion as a consequence agricultural including fire practices. A reactivation hydrologic flow river recorded sequences attests larger perturbation between 1st–3rd 7th–8th AD.
