Abstract
In this work we present the archaeopalynological study of the archaeological site of Mendizabala (Vitoria-Gasteiz), dated in the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. The main results indicate the existence of a landscape with important evidence of anthropization, with deforestation and dominance of open areas occupied by pastures. Among other evidences, the diagram shows the existence of farming practices that helped shaping the landscape of the central area of the Alava Plain.
