Description
Summary:The first results of paleogeographic study at estuary of the Katynka river allow to reconstruct the dynamics of vegetation in this part of the Dnieper floodplain for about 5 millennia and identify some traces of Neolithic, Early Iron Age and Medieval human activity. The most prominent anthropogenic transformation of landscapes (signs of slash-and-burn agriculture) was associated with the late Holocene «Gnezdovo» buried soil dated 2-5 centuries AD.
