The palynological studies are extremely relevant in the investigation of the evolution of palaeoenvironments. A case of pedopalynological studies was applied to the Lateglacial to Holocene sedimentary sequence derived from a small site located in San Lazzaro di Savena in the surroundings of Bologna, (Emilia Romagna, Northern Italy). Several disciplinary and analytical approaches, including pedostratigraphy, geochemistry, radiocarbon dating, archaeobotanical investigation and δ13C stable isotopes analyses, were taken into account for the complete characterization of the pedosequence.
