This paper presents the results of the analysis of wood charcoal remains recovered from three Neolithic pits of the Albigowa site 1, which belongs to the final phase of the Western Linear Pottery Culture. The absolute number of charcoal fragments and their relative frequency were chosen for the quantification of taxa. Also, a new method for quantifying, called the 'ubiquity correction', is presented. Among charcoal fragments of trees and shrubs, two species (Corylus avellana, Fraxinus excelsior), three genera (Acer, Quercus, Ulmus) and one subfamily (Maloideae) were identified. The archaeological context and characteristics of charcoal samples such as taxonomic diversity and presence of microorganisms indicate that this charcoal assemblage may represent domestic fuel wood. The list of dendroflora and the relative frequency of diverse taxa suggest that in the vicinity of the Neolithic settlement a riverine forest dominated.
