К вопросу об эволюции почв археологических памятников эпохи раннего железного века (Республика Башкортостан)

Abstract

The study examined the physico-chemical parameters on the example of soils of archaeological sites Akberdinsky-II, Shipovsky and Okhlebininsky-II settlements (Kara-abyss culture of the early iron age IV century BC to the turn of the II-I centuries BC). Archaeological sites and the background area of the Park named after M. I. Kalinin (Ufa) are located within the forest-steppe zone on the territory of right-Bank Pribelsky district of the Ufa-Simsky region of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The soil cover of the monuments is represented by dark gray forest loamy soils. Humus reserves and the uniformity coefficient Cu of elementary soil particles are calculated based on physico-chemical parameters. The humus reserves and the uniformity coefficient showed that the modern soils on the surface of archaeological sites are close to the soils of the background undisturbed territory. For buried soils and urbanized horizons on the territory of archaeological sites over the past 2200 – 2400 years, there is no approximation to the background soil in the main parameters. In general, the soil cover of archaeological sites of different ages is a valuable source of information not only about natural phenomena and events of ancient historical epochs, but also about the features of the evolution and genesis of soils.
