Two phases of archaeological investigation were performed in the Novi Sad City Museum at Petrovaradin Fortress. In this study, we summarize the results of geo-archaeological investigations of the second period of excavation inside the Novi Sad City Museum building. The fortress is situated on a Danube terrace with the top of the bedrock at ca.123 m asl. The investigated section consists of undisturbed fine-sandy silt. The grain-size distribution of the sediments indicates clearly its alluvial reworking but shows also a general similarity with typical primary loess in the region. All analyzed proxies indicate slightly stronger weathering in the upper part of the profile. Luminescence ages suggest that the investigated sequence covers the last glacial period and the terrace presumably formed during MIS 4. Subsequently, the Danube started its incision at the start of the next warmer period (MIS 3) onward. This terrace age and elevation enable us to derive an uplift rate of the terrace of ca. 0.73 mm/a for the last 60 ka, which seems to increase towards the present. Basal loessic material, in which artifacts occur, likely in the reworked position, indicate that the area close to today's Petrovaradin Fortress was already inhabited in MIS 5.

彼得罗瓦拉丁堡垒旧石器时代遗址的地貌演变（塞尔维亚诺维萨德）

在彼得罗瓦拉丁堡垒的诺维萨德市博物馆进行了两个阶段的考古调查。在这项研究中，我们总结了诺维萨德市博物馆大楼内第二期挖掘的地质考古调查结果。堡垒位于多瑙河露台上，基岩顶部海拔约 123 米。调查的部分由未扰动的细砂质淤泥组成。沉积物的粒度分布清楚地表明了它的冲积改造，但也显示出与该地区典型的原生黄土的普遍相似性。所有分析的代理都表明剖面上部的风化作用稍强。发光年龄表明，研究的序列涵盖了最后一个冰期和可能在 MIS 4 期间形成的阶地。随后，多瑙河在下一个温暖时期（MIS 3）开始时开始切割。这个阶地年龄和海拔使我们能够推导出约阶地的抬升率。过去 60 ka 的 0.73 mm/a，目前似乎在增加。可能在重新加工的位置出现人工制品的基础黄土材料表明，靠近今天的彼得罗瓦拉丁堡垒的区域已经在 MIS 5 中有人居住。
