The third is related in the end of LPAZ Van 4 from ca. 6480 to 5930 cal BP......
From this paper...
The Vanevan pollen record offers the possibility to detect three phases of local-scale agriculture. The earliest indicators of agricultural practices are occasionally recorded during the LAPZ Van 2 and base of Van 3 from ca 8000-7150 cal BP (late Neolithic). The second phase of local-scale farming is recorded more strongly to the turn of zones Van3 and Van 4 between ca 6990 and 6790 cal BP (Early Chalcolithic).
Occurrences of crops and grazing pollen indicators disappear during LPAZ Van 5 :
only Centaurea cyanus, Rumex acetosa and Juglans are recorded from ca 4890-4520 cal BP
They are saying that this site had crops and pasture until 3900 BC, at which point it turned into a mire and trees vanished. Crops vanished. Grass pollen vanished. Only a few such plants appear about 1,000 years later!
Consistent with the time and place I suspect for the deluge of Noah.
