Geological processes on the Ljubljansko barje basin after the Last Glacial Maximum are known merely on a general level. At few points more detailed circumstances are known, but this information is fragmented spatially and temporally. While artefacts from the archaeological sites were studied in detail, the sediments were mostly only imperfectly described. Better understanding of the evolution of the environment requires accurate study of these sediments and buried soils, and detection of evident stratigraphical hiatuses. Geološki procesi na Ljubljanskem barju po zadnjem glacialnem višku so le splošno poznani. Izjemoma sicer poznamo detajlne razmere, vendar so te prostorsko in časovno fragmentarne. Artefakti iz arheoloških najdišč so bili v preteklosti deležni natančnega proučevanja, sami sedimenti s kulturno vsebino, njihova talnina in krovnina pa bistveno manj. Pot do boljšega razumevanja okoljskih razmer v času kolišč verjetno vodi prav preko natančnega poznavanja sedimentov in pokopanih tal ter razumevanja evidentiranih stratigrafskih hiatusov.
