| Summary: | The article explores the relationship between the development of settlements and their potentially accessible natural resources. Particular emphasis is placed on soil quality as the basis of agricultural practices. Key attention is paid to the study of the Kalmyk steppe between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea in the early Middle Ages, when the first urban settlements appeared in the region. As a comparative material, we used the results of a study of the current state of soils and recent soil degradation processes and the condition of ancient soils, which were stored, for example, in graves (mounds), bollards, or in archaeological conditions. |
