It is well-known that especially the higher mountain ranges of Lebanon played crucial role for supplying especially Egypt and Mesopotamia with high quality timber. Studies in the past mainly focused on textual sources and iconography. Archaeobiological sources, especially pollen cores and the identification of wood from archaeological excavations, became only available for Lebanon in the past two decades. It is especially these latter sources which provide crucial evidence for the reconstruction of the vegetation history of the region, human use of the wood resources, and also the impact on anthropogenic influence on the natural vegetation.
In this presentation the current state of research on wood resources and timber procurement in Lebanon will be summed up.
