In the study of the environment / societies relationship in the mountain milieu, palynology is now positioned as an unavoidable discipline, offering the possibility of approaching the long period of the anthropisation process. A critical examination of the development of this discipline in relation to the problem of anthropisation can be carried out on the basis of the Pyrenean example. While the acquired elements are numerous, they are not systematically in phase with the new demands required by a scientific context that is resolutely turned towards an interdisciplinary approach. The variability of the scales of temporal and spatial analysis constitutes a major stumbling block, but it seems that this can be overcome by the development of new paleoecological approaches based on integrated analysis, as well as setting up functional references. Here, we briefly present the results of a few attempts carried out in the Pyrenees in the context of different research programmes.
