Аннотация

We present the results of study the Holocene sediments of Itkul Lake, a shal low brackish lake with carbonate sedimentation, located in the eastern part of Baraba lowland (Southwestern Siberia, Novosibirsk Region). A 1.8 m thick core of the Holocene (7.9 ¹⁴C yr) sediments of Itkul Lake has been studied. Based on the geochemical and lithostratigraphic properties of the bottom sediments, we have established the following stages of the lake evolution: (I) the beginning of sedimentation, 7.8–7.0 ¹⁴С ka; (II) extreme shallowing with a probable complete drying, ~7.0–5.5 ¹⁴С ka; (III) rise in the water level, ~5.5–4.3 ¹⁴С ka; (IV) repeated shallowing, 4.3–2.8 ¹⁴С ka; and (V) subsequent watering, 2.8–0 ¹⁴С ka. At present, the lake again tends to shallowing.
