Abstract

The article dealt with the results of archaeological and geomorphologic research on the Crimean’s coastline of the Kerch strait on the two coastal stretchs: Kamish-Burun spit (Kerch Strait) and the barrier spit of the Chokrak lake (The Sea of Azov). On the base of sedimentology, geochronology and macrofaunistic study the several litho-facial types of coastal sediments have been distinguished that permitted to reconstruct the sea level change and coastal evolution pattern for the last 5, 0 ka.
