Changes of the Black sea level during the Holocene according to geo-archeological indicators
The results of studying the fluctuations of the Black Sea level during the recent 5000 years are discussed which were obtained through detailed stratigraphic and lithological-facial analysis of the complex of coastal sediments. Different types of indicators (geomorphologic, lithological-facial and archaeological) were compared as to their accuracy during investigations of the coasts of the North-Western Black Sea and the Kerchensky Straight. Constraints of each type of indicators were described and the necessity to combine them in order to obtain the reliable results was demonstrated.
