Lichenometric dating of natural and artificial landforms at the Altai Mountains
Abstract
The lichenometric investigations on Broze Age stone graves about 1000 and 2500 years old were carried out in Jasator valley (Yuzhno-Chuisky Ridge, Altai). 71 archeological sites were investigated and the growth rates of lichens Lecanora bicincta, Aspicilia sp., Rhizocarpon geographicum, Parmelia taractica + P. separate were determined. These data allowed to estimate the age of the surface of a rock glacier in the same valley.
