A detailed description and engineering-geological characterization are made for the loess-soil series rocks of Zdolbuniv key profile, which represents the main loess, palaeo-soil, and palaeo-cryogenic horizons of the Middle and Upper Pleistocene within the Volyn’ Upland – a classical region of the European loess development. The analysis of the differentiation in the composition and properties of the loess, palaeo-soil, and palaeo-cryogenic horizons imply on their significant difference caused by palaeogeographical conditions of their development and of the dia-genetic metamorphism. Key words: loess, loess-soil series, key profile, fossil soil, palaeo-cryogenesis, engineering-geological properties.
