The paper presents a synthesis of the results of palynological analysis and palaeofire dynamics in comparison with archaeological data from the Mergen archaeological microzone (the Tyumen region). The study of the bottom sediments of Lake Mergen has allowed to reconstruct the dynamics of palaeofire and vegetation changes over 13 thousand years. On the basis of the data obtained, it was established that the anthropogenic factor has influenced the fire situation in the region since the Neolithic period, but the degree of influence varies and increases with the emergence of a productive economy. The intensity and frequency of fires is also influenced by a natural factor - the distribution of forests contributes to an increase in the number and intensity of fires. A reconstruction of the vegetation showed that the anthropogenic influence on the vegetation cover has been negligible over 13 thousand years, probably indicating a landscape suitable for the type of economy chosen by the population.
