| Summary: | The main aim of the geoarchaeological research of Sabaloka
in the 2014 season was the paleopedological mapping around the archaeological sites excavated in the past
seasons. Generally, four main types of soils or paleosoils
were described. These soils correspond to the geomor -
phology of the studied area, past climate and hydrological
conditions. Around the rocky cities Phaeozems and their
relicts and derivatives were described, while in the direction
of the Sabaloka plateau, Leptosols of a different age
prevail. In areas proximate to the Nile River, Stagnosols,
in some places covered by organic sediments, and also Fluvisols
were described. The reconnaissance of these soils
provides key information for interpreting the environment
in the context of past human occupation in the study area. |
