Supra-regional correlations of the most ancient paleosols and Paleolithic layers of Kostenki-Borschevo region (Russian Plain)
International audience The archaeological site Kostenki12, located on the Middle Don River, provides a key stratigraphic profile for regional paleopedological, paleoenvironmental, geological and cultural sequences, containing the oldest known cultural layers of the region (layer V - Paleolithic, lay...
