Paleoenvironmental reconstructions are crucially important for understanding migration incentives of ancient civilizations. The old settlements are among important geoarchaeological objects that allow using paleopedological methods for paleolandscape reconstructions. Soils deeply buried under ancient constructions, especially ramparts and mounds, keep features developed under climatic conditions preceding burial and could be considered as a valuable paleoenvironmental archive. Settlements and burial mounds of Late Holocene age are widely spread in forest-steppe, steppe and semi-desert areas of East European Plain and well documented by archaeologists. The Russian Plain in the second half of the Holocene is an area of considerable rhythmic climate variations (Demkin, 1997; Aleksandrovskiy and Aleksandrovskaya, 2005; Khokhlova, 2012; Chendev et al., 2017; Aseyeva et al., 2019; Makeev et al., 2019). During the Late Holocene, the Russian plain seems to be an arena of complex interactions of different civilizations bordering Caspian-Black Sea-Mediterranean Corridor from the North. This report focuses on the study of surface soil and soil, buried under the archaeological monument of the Early Iron Age in order to derive Late Holocene environmental changes in the southern part of the foreststeppe areas of the East European Plain.
