Colluvial deposits, as the correlate sediments of human induced soil
erosion, depict an excellent archive of land use and landscape history as
representatives of human-environment interactions. This study establishes
a chronostratigraphy of colluvial deposits and reconstructs past land use
dynamics in the Swabian Jura, the Baar and the Black Forest in SW Germany.
In the agriculturally favourable Baar area multiple main phases of
colluvial deposition, and thus intensified land use, can be identified
from the Neolithic to the Modern Times. In the unfavourable Swabian Jura
increased colluvial deposition began later compared to the more favourable
areas in the Baar. The same holds true for the unfavourable areas of the
Black Forest, but intensified land use can only be reconstructed for the
Middle Ages and Early Modern times instead of for the Bronze and Iron Age
as in the Swabian Jura. Land use intensity and settlement dynamics
represented by thick, multi-layered colluvial deposits increase in the
Baar and the Black Forest during the Middle Ages. In-between those phases
of geomorphodynamic activity and colluviation, stable phases occur,
interpreted as phases with sustainable land use or without human presence.
