Abstract
Large exposure near the brick-field in Haliè represents one of the most complete loess sequences in the Ukrainian Carpathian Foreland, which illustrates a progress of events covering a considerable part of the Middle Pleistocene and the whole Upper Pleistocene. The most important of these are: the Luck soil corresponding to the soil from the Zbójno Interglacial in Polish profiles and Dömnitz Interglacial (O-18 stage 9) in West European profiles, bottom part of the Upper Pleistocene (Dnieper = Odranian = Saalian I) loesses, which are extremely thick and stratigraphically divided into units of lower rank, and well developed soil complexes – Korshov and Horokhov. Investigations of the Korshov soil are a basis to discuss at least two stages/phases of pedogenesis development during the last but one interglacial (Lublinian = Treenian; O-18 stage 7). The Horokhov paleosol is connected with the Eemian Interglacial. The Dubno and Rovno soils occur within the poorly developed Vistulian loesses; the Rovno soil is a cultural layer.
