Abstract

Early Pleistocene volcanic soil series exposed in archaeological sites of the Lori Plateau and the Upper Akhurian Lowland of the Armenian Upland were studied. The study considers the isotopic composition of organic carbon and the content of n-alkanes, not previously analyzed in this area. Both these parameters indicate the waterlogged conditions of Early Pleistocene soil formation as is also indicated by morphology and magnetic susceptibility values. The reconstructed landscapes were represented by herbaceous biocenoses on hydromorphic soils with prevalence of C3-grasses.

小高加索火山土壤系列作为早期更新世古生态信息的档案

摘要

研究了洛里高原和亚美尼亚高地阿克苏里低地的考古遗址中暴露的早更新世火山土壤系列。该研究考虑了有机碳的同位素组成和正构烷烃的含量，这一领域以前没有进行过分析。这两个参数都表明了早更新世土壤形成的水浸状况，形态和磁化率值也表明了这一点。重建的景观以在C3草盛行的水质土壤上的草本生物群落为代表。
