A variety of studies of the re-examined (new exposure) Late Pleistocene key section Cheremoshnik (East European plain, middle of the Volga Basin of Yaroslavl) was conducted on a new methodological level using modern methods. For the first time, a series of paleosols (MIS5-MIS1) from the section offering significant information in regard to chronostratigraphy and landscape evolution have been studied in detail and dated. An excavation ∼7 m deep reveals a soil-sediment stratum which formed over the course of ∼115 ka in an accumulative beam-like terrace and consists of five lithological layers and six pedostratigraphical units.
