Abstract
The ratio of the isotopes C-13/C-12 and O-18/O-16 in carbonate soils o f the gilgai assemblage in the cis-Caucasus was studied to establish t he conditions of carbonate formation. Carbonates are represented by th ree generations and have a pedogenic origin. They were formed in the p rocess of evapotranspiration. Two stages of carbonate formation are id entified: modern and ancient with warmer and wetter climate.
