Abstract

A pit dug out within the area of a medieval settlement reached the sediments of the Lower Flood plain Terrace. Microtexture of quartz grains in sands of all three layers provided evidence that the most prominent source of sediments were older aeolian sands and that an admixture of aeolian material in situ is very probable.
