Analysis of the written data and study of the deposits at Atzmaut, Ramon I and Nakarot allowed reconstructing the dynamics of the desert vegetation and identifying the impact of cattle grazing. The increased share of Plantago and Thymelaea spp. in the pollen specters of zoogenic deposits practically concurs with the three periods in which the number of archaeological sites increases: Early Bronze Age I and II (3500\u20132700 BC), Middle Bronze Age (2300\u20132000 BC) and Iron Age (1200\u2013586 BC), and with the arrival of Bedouin tribes into the desert in the 17th\u201318th cc.
