The Pleistocene—Holocene Transition on the East European Plain

  • Chapter
Humans at the End of the Ice Age

Part of the book series: Interdisciplinary Contributions to Archaeology ((IDCA))

Abstract

The territory of the East European (Russian) Plain is a terrain highly suitable for the study of the Pleistocene—Holocene transition and its effects on social and environmental processes. Consideration of the Russian Plain in terms of the area directly affected by the Last (Valdai) glaciation and the extraglacial part is of key importance in this respect; this chapter is mainly restricted to the analysis of the former area.
