“…This settlement belongs to a large cluster of sites which were in existence through the early and middle Holocene [14,33]. Analysis of archaeological and pollen data has revealed cereal pollen and evidence for forest clearance, suggesting swidden-type agriculture [17].…”

“…However, numerous inversions were observed within this radiocarbon data set (see: Zajceva et al 2003;Tarasov et al 2018). The first palaeoecological reconstructions in the Serteya microregion were conducted in the 2000s (see: Kul'kova et al 2001;Mazurkevich 2003;Kul'kova, Savel'eva 2003;Zajceva et al 2003;Dolukhanov et al 2004;Kul'kova 2005Kul'kova , 2006Mazurkevich et al 2009a, b;Tarasov et al 2018). The cores of organic deposits from GSPB, The Rudnya Palaeolake Basin and The Nivniki Palaeolake Basin were studied in order to enable a palaeoenvironmental reconstruction with the use of pollen, diatom and geochemical analyses.…”

“…Single bones of domesticated horse, cow, sheep and probably pig were found on the sites of this region (Sablin, Siromyatnikova 2009). Palynological data might indicate some agricultural activities as well (Dolukhanov et al 2004;Arslanov et al 2009). The harvesting and storage of wood for building might have been the most effective during the winter period, because of wood quality at this time, and ease of transportation.…”

The article presents the results of recent archaeological and geomorphological research conducted on Middle to Late Neolithic site Serteya II in the Serteysky microregion of the Dnepr-Dvina region (NW Russia). The interaction of archaeological and multidisciplinary palaeoenvironmental research allowed for the reconstruction of the natural environment transformations and the natural conditions of the activity of the ancient communities in the lower Serteyka River valley, the left-bank tributary of the Western Dvina River. The terrain relief of the area was formed after the recession of the Weichselian (Valdai) Ice Sheet. The present day Serteyka River valley occupies a subglacial channel that was earlier occupied by a few lake basins of almost two generations. The water basins of the first generation existed within glacial crevasses and between blocks of dead ice, and second generation lakes developed after the melting of dead ice in the Late Valdai. Throughout the entire Holocene, the Serteyka River drained several lake basins as a result of headward river erosion. The Neolithic Serteya II site occupied the surface of a kame terrace and biogenic plain within the palaeolake basin. The pile-dwelling settlement functioned there in a period when palaeolakes existed and were affected by transgression and regression of the water table. The main phase of pile-dwelling development is dated to ca. 4200-3800 cal BP and existed for almost 140 years. It was part of a wider settlement structure in the period of domination of a hunter-gatherer economy and the beginning of agriculture.Zarys treści. Artykuł przedstawia wyniki ostatnich badań archeologicznych i geomorfologicznych środkowo-i późnoneolitycznego stanowisku Serteya II, zlokalizowanego w międzyrzeczu Dniepru i Dźwiny, w obrębie mikroregionu Sertejskiego (NW Rosja). Połączenie wyników badań archeologicznych i multidyscyplinarnych analiz paleośrodowiskowych pozwoliło na odtworzenie środowiska naturalnego i warunków przyrodniczych działalności dawnych społeczności w dolinie dolnej Sertejki, lewego dopływu Dźwiny. Rzeźba terenu została uformowana po ustąpieniu zlodowacenia wisły (wałdajskiego). Współczesna dolina wykorzystuje rynnę subglacjalną, w której wcześniej funkcjonowało kilka basenów jeziornych dwóch generacji. Zbiorniki pierwszej generacji rozwinęły się w szczelinach lodowych i w obniżeniach pomiędzy martwymi bryłami lądolodu. Jeziora drugiej generacji powstały po wytopieniu brył martwego lodu w późnym vistulianie. W trakcie holocenu rzeka Sertejka, w wyniku erozji wstecznej, zdrenowała kolejne jeziora. Osada neolityczna Serteya II zajmowała powierzchnię
