Abstract
Detailed paleopedological studies of buried Pleistocene soils of the D nieper-Don stratigraphical interval were conducted in the basin of the Oka River with the help of basic profiles. Among three paleosols, onl y the middle one proved to be a mature interglacial soil (the second K amenskaya). It formed under the influence of intensive humus formation and lessivage. The upper and lower paleosols were referred to immatur e soils, and pedogenesis was combined in them with the accumulation of sediments.
