Palaeosol studies of archaeological monuments in the Sok River Valley (Samara Region).

摘要

Palaeosol studies of Neolithic (6000-3000 years BC) settlements located on the floodplain and a burial mound of the Bronze Age (3000-2000 years BC) located on the first terrace in the Sok River valley (Transvolga region, southern forest steppe zone,Samara oblast, Russia) enabled the evolution of the valley soils in the Middle Holocene to be traced. Palaeosol, lithological, and geomorphological data are used to reconstruct palaeoclimatic and palaeolandscape conditions of the region.
