Abstract: In 2003 a 560 cm long core was deepened in the valley of Újkút creek in southwestern Hungary, Zala County. Pollen analysis was carried out to study the environment of a prehistoric settlement complex. The pollen sequence represents a densely forested area with very high average of Fagus, Tilia and Carpinus. Fagus macrofossil from 465-485 cm depth was dated by radiocarbon, AMS method to 3,495±30 l4C yr BP, 1880-1740 cal BC.
