Paleosol studies of archeological monuments in the Sok River valley (Samara region)

摘要

Paleosol studies of Neolithic (6-3 ka BC) settlements located on the flood plain and a burial mound of the Bronze Age (3-2 ka BC) located on the first terrace in the Sok River valley (Transvolga region, southern forest-steppe zone, Samara oblast) enabled the author to trace the evolution of the valley soils in the Middle Holocene. Paleosol, lithological, and geomorphological data are used to reconstruct paleoclimatic and paleolandscape conditions of the region.
