Abstract:Buried Late Holocene paleosols of the Nienshants historical monument at the junction of the Neva and Okhta rivers (St. Petersburg) have been studied. These soils developed from estuary deposits of the Littorina basin with abundant artifacts of the Neolithic and Early Iron ages (7-2 ka BP). The soil cover of the area consists of the mature dark humus profile gleyed soils on elevated elements of the mesotopography (3.0-3.5 a.s.l.) and dark humus gley soils in the local depressions (2.0-2.6 m a.s.l.). The soils a… Show more
