PALEOECOLOGICAL habitat conditions OF THE NEOLITHIC AND BRONZE AGE TRIBES IN THE SANDS OF THE VOLGA-URAL INTERFLUVE

Paleoecological conditions were reconstructed according to ancient soils, sediments, palynology and paleozoology. The nature of middle and late Neolithic Age roughly corresponded of modern semi-desert conditions, Eneolithic Age - more humid conditions of dry steppes. The development of landscapes and society in Ryn-Sands throughout the Holocene was broken-deflationary, repeatedly interrupted by periods of crises of aridization of the climate with active Eolian processes.
