• Paleogeographic reconstruction of the formation of the first terrace of the Vitim River in the context of the evolution of the Mamakan Geoarchaeological Region (2026) · VESTNIK ARHEOLOGII ANTROPOLOGII I ETNOGRAFII · doi

  The lack of understanding of the history of the formation of the first terrace of the Vitim River. The conventional assumption about the Holocene age of the first floodplain terrace is challenged by the study.

  The complexity of the geological and archaeological context of the region. The need for a multidisciplinary approach to reconstruct the history of the formation of the first terrace. The challenge of interpreting radiocarbon dating results in the context of the study.

  The study identifies a gap in the understanding of the formation of river terraces, which is often attributed to fluctuations in climate, sea level or tectonic activity. The study argues that the character of the terrace deposits provides the key for deciphering stream history, which has been neglected in prior research.

  There is a need for a new classification of river terraces that can differentiate between terraces of different ages and correlations. The existing classifications are not sufficient for understanding the geological history of an area.
