Short summary
With the help of remnants of small crustaceans that fossilize easily and live only in different types of freshwater, we could verify the fact that the Holocene was wetter than today; this also influenced the human population at that time. Due to the higher moisture, farming and husbandry was probably possible. We could also clarify some of the changes in time in these very fertile areas. This is also a help for the archaeologists who have recently carried out many excavations in the same area.
