The profile is comprised of glacial and loess parts. The bottom section is built of glacigenic sediments of the marginal zone of the Dnieper Glaciation. The overlying loess-soil sequence of the last two glacial–interglacial cycles underwent detailed analyses. This section is composed of multiple soil levels, whose participation in the entire thickness of the layer dominates over primary loess. The studies have confirmed that they are lower stratigraphic rank soils of the Vytachiv (vt) unit (=MIS 3), and two complex higher rank units: Pryluky (pl; MIS 5) and Kaydaky (kd; MIS 7). For the distinguished litho- and pedostratigraphic units, paleoenvironmental characteristics were developed. The stratigraphic rank of these units was confirmed by dating. The results of the TL and OSL dating of the samples show good agreement between the laboratories, particularly in relation to the last cycle. However, the OSL dates for the penultimate cycle are significantly underestimated in relation to the TL dates, which in turn relate well to the global time framework. The reasons of the OSL dates underestimation might be connected with the post-sedimentation pedogenic changes.
