Abstract：Micropaleontological record of the two boreholes(HMD1501 and HMD502)from Hemudu-Tianluoshan Sites in Yuyao of Zhejiang Province,reveals a detailed vegetation history,paleo-vegetation evolutions,palaeoclimate change,fluctuating sea level and human activity in the study area during the Holocene.Palynological results(pollen,spores,dinoflagellate,freshwater algae and foraminifer linings)suggest that: (1)Evergreen coniferous and broadleaved mixed forest developed during the Early Holocene(corresponding to the lower of Zhenhai Formation),the climate was warm and humid,and the study area was belong to a transgression stage. (2)Evergreen coniferous and broadleaved mixed forest were still developed during the Middle Holocene(corresponding to the middle of Zhenhai Formation),the climate changed into moderate and humid,and the transgression continued. (3)Due to human activity,coniferous and broadleaved mixed forest-grassland developed during the Late Holocene(corresponding to the upper of Zhenhai Formation),the climate changed into cold and dry,however,the study area began to enter a regression stage. (4)Human activities began to strengthen,and high percentage Poaceae pollen(≥35,μm)indicates rice culture activity presented at Hemudu-Tianluoshan Sites during the ca.7235-3327 cal.yr B.P..
