2013 the Pridnestrovian-Ukrainian archaeological
expedition continued study of Bronze Age barrows located near Glinoe village, Slobodzeya
district, of the In
the barrow 1 of the “DOT” group and the barrow 1 of the “Sad” group were held
paleopedological studies of buried soils, preserved
by the mounds of these barrows. Reconstruction of the environment in the time
of barrows construction presupposed the comparison soil profiles of the past
with full profiles of modern soils from the corresponding geomorphological
levels. Total six clearings has been described — two clearing of under-barrow
soil and a background for each mound. Modern
soil is short-profiled, with intensive processing of material by the
meadow-steppe vegetation, and is changed by the pedogenesis.
It can be defined as an ordinary black earth, which is confirmed by both the
character of the profile and features of micromorphology,
has a rather abrupt transition of humified mass and
carbonate illuvium. Buried
soil of the Early Bronze Age in all four clearings over background has more
dark-colored humus horizon, more clear transitions between the humus
horizons. Early Bronze Age conditions was somewhat wetter than today's. The
territory was within the steppe zone with slightly displaced boundaries (but
not significantly) of the areas to the north. Carbonate profiles and high
position of the illuvium shows that the conditions
were dry steppe. |
Key words: Transnistria, Bronze
