ALLUVIAL STRATIGRAPHY AND FLUVIAL DYNAMICS AT THE LATE PLEISTOCENE-HOLOCENE TRANSITION
Climatic trends causing the activation of periglacial and gravity-slope/geliflux processes are seen as a limiting factor in the preservation of former open sites before the Upper Paleolithic. Despite this, due to the unique geomorphological configuration and paleo-environmental conditions, the territory of the Central Urals and Trans-Urals are a great potential for future research of Paleolithic geoarchaeology.
IN THE ITALIAN APENNINES
The chronology of the Late Pleistocene alluvial sedimentation extends back to the late MIS 4-early MIS 3, at the extreme limit of the 14C method. Deeper and more confined gravel channel fills are characteristic of the upper part of the Late Pleistocene successions that pass upward into overlying fines containing buried truncated immature paleosols.
TECTONICS, CLIMATE AND FLUVIAL SEDIMENTATION
THE PLEISTOCENE RECORD OF CENTRAL ITALY
Along the steeper slopes of the Apennines, including those generated by normal Pleistocene faulting activity, and at the foot of present-day escarpments of active fault lines, sedimentation is virtually absent under current interglacial conditions. However, during the Quaternary and on the scale of glacial-interglacial cycles, fluvial, coarse-grained faces and architecture, despite continued tectonic activity, were always determined by climate.
BIOSTRATIGRAPHICAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE LOWER NEOPLEISTOCENE DEPOSITS
Therefore, the long-term uplift and displacements are responsible for the creation of mountain ridges that form the source for sediments and tectonic basins that generated the accommodation space for the accumulation of thick terrestrial successions. The Holocene fluvial record cannot be considered a good actualist example for Interglacial fluvial sedimentation, because since the Neolithic period it has been strongly influenced by human induced changes in terms of slope degradation and related sediment supply to the valley floors.
OF THE SOUTHERN URALS REGION
In the Atasevo time, when erosion was reactivated, fluvial sediments were uplifted and they are now observable in the lower parts of third terraces above the floodplain in the lower reaches of the Belaya River (Danukalova et al., 2002).

PRELIMINARY DATA ON THE PLEISTOCENE HISTORY OF PERMAFROST IN CENTRAL URALS (RUSSIA) DERIVED
Siberia) and the Baturino quarry (Southern Urals) have shown their specificity and differences with continental Eurasian paleosols of other Pleistocene periods, which can probably be used for long-distance chronocrelations. This fact requires further research in the direction of expanding the number of similar objects distributed in different conditions of continental Eurasia.

Since that period, the remains of tundra mice have not been found among the fossil insectivores.
NEW INVESTIGATIONS OF QUATERNARY DEPOSITS IN THE VIENNA BASIN (AUSTRIA)
Although it was already possible to develop more detailed ideas about younger fluvial sediments of the Danube in the Vienna Basin by means of OSL dating (e.g. Fiebig et al., 2009), the overall knowledge about the Quaternary history of sedimentation and erosion in the Vienna Basin is fragmentary. The application of independent dating methods will hopefully serve to close this gap in knowledge in the course of further research projects such as the current FWF project P23138-N19.
HOLOCENE EOLIAN LOESS-SOIL STRATIGRAPHY AND CLIMATE CHANGE OVER THE MIDDLE YELLOW RIVER
An attempt to test the first results of OSL dating is made by measuring the content of the cosmogenic isotopes Al26 and Be10 in cobbles of both terraces (see figure A3, appendix 3). Each of these cobbles is examined and measured separately, so that different histories of individual cobbles can reveal a more robust and detailed database for the reconstruction of the deposition history of the entire sedimentary unit.

SURFACE SOILS AND PALEOSOLS OF ROCK-SHELTER SVETLYI (THE MIDDLE URALS)
Fluctuations of their content over the profile of Soil III mean gradual formation of the deposits or initial heterogeneity of the sediments. It should be noted the high values of humic acid and fulvic acid ratio (Cha:Cfa) in the studied soils, especially at the eastern wall for which we did not find analogues among modern soils of the region.
Therefore, in further analysis, the change of humus characteristics over the profiles is of greater importance than absolute values. Ulitko (IPAE, Ekaterinburg) for the invitation to participate in the research, help with fieldwork and discussion of the results.

MIDDLE URALS)
The layer formation time corresponds to the Subboreal period of the Holocene based on the stratigraphic position. On the cross profiles, there is a noticeable protrusion of the sediments of layer 2 into the underlying layer 3.

The Hokkaido clade is well differentiated which may be a result of the previous isolation of the island population. According to paleontological and molecular-genetic data, the common trends of higher haplotype diversity and the earliest dating of fossil finds of P.
THE MAIN MATTERS OF STRATIFICATION FOR LOWER VOLGA NEOPLEISTOCENE, RUSSIAN FEDERATION
An absence of precise binding of observation points in the process of description and definition of new Quaternary units. Despite a wealth of data, questions about the stratification of these sections, sometimes referred to as the Pleistocene Stratigraphic Scheme of Northern Eurasia, are still speculative.
THE NEW QUATERNARY MAP OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION, SCALE 1:2 500 000
The map legend is built on the traditional stratigraphic-genetic principle in matrix form. In general, the left part of the legend provides a correlation of stratigraphic divisions of the new Russian map with European chronostratigraphy.
THE GENUS DICROSTONYX (MICROTINAE, RODENTIA) FROM LATE EOPLEISTOCENE AND EARLY
NEOPLEISTOCENE OF EAST SIBERIA
FIRST RECORDS OF THE SUB-FOSSIL INSECTS FROM QUATERNARY DEPOSITS
The first site (Zaharovo), located by the Aley River, is attributed to this period based on the geomorphological level of the flood terrace. These sites may thus represent a broad chronological interval from the beginning of the Late Pleistocene to the Holocene, but radiocarbon dating of the investigated layers is necessary; we have only one 14C date made for the Bun'kovo site.
DISJUNCTIVE AREAS OF INSECTS AS A REFLECTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL PECULIARITIES OF NORTHERN
A History of the Ground Beetle Fauna of Western Siberia and the Urals During the Late Pleistocene to Holocene. Pile beetles (Coleoptera, Byrrhidae) in late Pleistocene deposits in the south of the West Siberian Plain.
EURASIA IN THE PLEISTOCENE AND HOLOCENE Keywords: paleoecology, sub-fossil insects, Late Pleistocene, Holocene,
It is possible that these beetles belong to arctic, subarctic and non-analogue insect faunas, typical of the Late Pleistocene of the Urals and Western Siberia. In: Ecological groups of ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) in natural and anthropogenic landscapes of the Urals.
STRATIGRAPHY AND CHANGES OF ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE IN THE LATE CENOZOIC OF WESTERN
SIBERIA
The Middle and Late Pleistocene loess-soil sequence of western Siberia is one of the most significant archives of terrestrial paleoclimate in North Asia. The loess sediments of Western Siberia, deposited during the Lower and Middle Pleistocene, occupy uplift territories - the CisAltai plain, river valleys with low Altai mountains, the western slopes of Salair and the Kuznetsk depression.
DENTAL MICROWEAR IN LATE QUATERNARY RODENTS
Irregular distribution of the microwear patterns on the enamel surface in young rodents with immature occlusal surface (in voles) or with the pointed cusps (in mice). The data from the analysis will make it possible to reconstruct the diet of modern and late quaternary rodents.
