Abstract

A comprehensive lithological analysis of bottom sediments from the central part of the Sarskaya depression was carried out. We determined that a shallow lake existed in the Sarskaya depression as least from 22500 to 12400 years ago. The bottom sediments potentially contain traces of global climate change - in particular, a presumable trace of the Bølling-Allerød interstadial has been established in sediments formed about 13500 years ago. There are signs of activation of erosion processes during the period from 13100 to 12400 years ago. Since the time the sediment condition stabilized and the water body began to swamp.
