Abstract
We welcome this opportunity to contribute to the recent discussions in NAR about Early Agriculture in Scandinavia. As pollen analysts interested in theory and quantitative methodology (JB) and with first‐hand experience of interdisciplinary projects (DM), we generally agree with much of Björn Berglund's valuable review. The associated comments by Torsten Madsen and others raise important points that require discussion and clarification. Our comments attempt (a) to amplify some of the methodological and theoretical problems discussed by Berglund and Irmeli Vuorela and (b) to focus on the conceptual and methodological problems associated with interdisciplinary studies highlighted by Madsen.Keywords
