Abstract

Early Pleistocene volcanic soil series exposed in archaeological sites of the Lori Plateau and the Upper Akhurian Lowland of the Armenian Upland were studied. The study considers the isotopic composition of organic carbon and the content of n-alkanes, not previously analyzed in this area. Both these parameters indicate the waterlogged conditions of Early Pleistocene soil formation as is also indicated by morphology and magnetic susceptibility values. The reconstructed landscapes were represented by herbaceous biocenoses on hydromorphic soils with prevalence of C3-grasses.
