  • This paper presents new anthracological results from l�Esquerda (Masies de Roda, Barcelona, Spain). We provide here results of the Early Middle Age and principally the Late Middle Age settlement. In both periods the catchment area of forest resources was reduced to the vicinity of the site, without outside contributions. In domestic contexts the relationship between Buxus sempervirens and Quercus type deciduous is important. Riparian forest is also represented in the anthracological record. The origin of the deposits discharged into pits, wood selection and the rest of economic activities in relation to forest exploitation are discussed.
