Реконструкция палеоландшафтов средних веков на основе изучения погребенных почв Гочевского археологического комплекса (Курская область)

Благодаря изолированности от внешней среды, почвы, погребенные под курганными могильниками, являются ценными архивами, которые содержат информацию о природных условиях прошлых эпох. Приведены результаты изучения почв, погребенных под курганами в средневековье с небольшим временным интервалом – 25–50 лет. В исследования входили подробное полевое морфологическое описание почв, гранулометрический анализ, изучение элементного состава, фракционного железа и некоторых других физико-химических параметров. Помимо этого, был выполнен анализ спор, пыльцевых и непыльцевых палиноморф. Для сравнения была исследована фоновая почва в непосредственной близости от курганов. Полученные данные позволили определить динамику лесостепных ландшафтов в X–XI вв. Произошедшие в этот временной отрезок средневековое потепление и последующее увлажнение климата за короткий период могли существенно повлиять на природные условия и миграцию населения степей Евразии.
