This paper presents paleopalynological data about the New Holocene period for
Pistacia type palynomorphs (Anacardiaceae family). The results achieved on fossil
pollen were obtained from land deposits of the last 20th centuries (New Holocene
or Last Quaternary period) in Elbasani town.
All paleopalynological data are given for the first time without any study on
Pistacia type palynomorphs. This scientific work was carried out with the aim of
presenting the distribution of Pistacia type palynomorphs during the New Holocene
periods.
Based on the data and the achieved results we can say that: Pistacia type
palynomorphs (in total 476 palinomorphs) are absolutely present in all processed
samples, also from the depth to the soil surface there is a stable presence of these
palynomorphs. The change of vegetation over the years, in our opinion, has to do
with the influence of human impact.
