Abstract
Anthropogenic geomorphology rose in the 60th of XX century and come now to new level (stage) of development. Recent relief, anthropogenic-geomorphological systems (AGMS), their properties, organization and characteristics of functioning constitute its subject. We suggest distinguishing AGMS by the type of natural anthropogenic organization, development of engineering connections and adaptive properties of anthropogenic (technogenic) and natural components: organically organized, constructively organized, engineering organized (or adapted), technogenic AGMS.
We propose also to term buried systems “archaeological” (or “artifactous”). In the conclusion, the main regularities of “constructive organization” were formulated and determination of anthropogenic geomorphology was given as follows: the discipline which investigates recent relief and anthropogenic-geomorphologic systems of different levels, their properties, organization, characteristics of functioning, and reveals the regularities of their formation in different natural conditions.
