Pollen diagram of Site 1 (Courfaivre-La Faverge). Analysis: H. Richard, E. Gauthier and M. Boucheron. For sample location and stratigraphic framework, see Fig. 3. The diagram was drawn using Tilia and TiliaGraph software (Grimm 1991). The percentages were calculated by excluding spores and Cyperaceae pollen grains from the total pollen count. The left side of the diagram contains the tree and shrub pollen, the right one herbaceous pollen and spores; the central part summarizes the proportion of tree, shrub and grass pollen, and the radiocarbon dates. The column at the far right of the diagram corresponds to the local pollen zones (LPZ). Five main zones (C1C5, oldest to most recent) were distinguished; the most recent (C5) is divided into four subzones (C5aC5d)
