MODIFICĂRI ANTROPICE ALE SOLULUI LA MONUMENTUL ARHEOLOGIC „VALURILE LUI TRAIAN” DIN REPUBLICA MOLDOVA

Abstract

The anthropogenic factor, through the technogenic processes, can transform not only the substantial composition and morphological structure of soil profiles, but also the areas, geography and evolution of soils. The archaeological monument ,,Trajan’s Walls” in the Republic of Moldova presents a research object of both historical-cultural and pedological interest. The studies carried out elucidate that the soil in the ditch, the one in the wall and the one in the vicinity of the wall have the same origin according to the type of soil, physical and chemical parameters, and the soil profiles in the ditch and in the wall reflect the anthropic implication in a distant period of time. The research demonstrates that man can influence the modification of the “face” of the soil, under the geomorphological and morphological aspect of the soil profile, but he cannot change the origin of the soil and the paedogenetic processes.
