Abstract

Recent morphodynamic of some types of coarse elastic-deposit barriers are considered on the base of comparative study of natural features, historical and archaeological data. The evolution of such types of barriers during recent sea-level rise mostly depends on the type and coarseness of beach sediments. Some peculiarities of coast evolution in Late Holocene have been characterized.
