Results of paleopalynological and paleoethnobotanical studies were obtained for the deposits from cultural layers of seven Early Medieval settlements of the Slovechno-Ovruch Ridge (XIII century A.D.). The species composition of the cultivated and weedy components (58 taxa) was identified. The list of model synanthrope taxa for paleochorological studies is produced. On the example of Slovechno-Ovruch Ridge, first maps based on paleopalynological and ethnobotanical data are developed for distribution of model taxa in space and time (XIII century).

Keywords: paleochorology, palynoflora, Early Medieval, cultivated plants, weeds, Ovruch Ridge, Ukraine
