New Data on Natural Surroundings of Trans-Urals in Ancient Times (palynological studies with respect to the sediments of Nizhne-Ingalsky 3 settlement)
The paper is devoted to
reconstruction of natural conditions in the Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age
basing on the data of spore-and-pollen analysis with respect to the sediments of
Nizhne-Ingalsky-3 settlement. The authors give a detailed description of two
sections of the monument, describe their palynological features, give
radiocarbon datings, and compare the results with the data obtained from the
other sections in the Ingalsky Valley. Basing on analysis of spore-and-pollen
diagrams, certain regional features of subboreal and sub-Atlantic periods of
Holocene have been discovered.
