Аннотация:On the basis of the conducted paleosol, updated data on the direction of climate changes in thesecond half of the Holocene in the territory of the Kuban–Azov Lowland were obtained. The Atlantic optimumof the Holocene was replaced at the beginning of the third millennium BC by a short period of aridization.The 27/26th–22/21st centuries BC were the period of climate humidization followed by a warm and dryperiod in the 22/21st–16th centuries BC. In the Early Iron Age, from the second half of the 2nd century BCto the beginning of the 2nd century AD, a sharp aridization of the climate was reconstructed, the peak ofwhich occurred at the turn of the millennium. Paleosols of the second half of the third millennium BC arecharacterized by the high humus content, leaching of carbonates from the upper horizons, impregnation withcarbonate pseudomycelium of the profile, the presence of calcareous veins, disintegration or absence of calcareousnodules, and zooturbation of the profile. These features attest to humid climatic conditions. At theturn of the era, with the increasing aridity of the climate, the chernozems acquired features of more southernsubtypes, but there was no change in soil types and subtypes during this period.
