Soil, geochemical, microbiological and archaeological studies were conducted at eight settlements dating from the Paleolithic to Late Medieval and New Times near the Southern Trans-Urals mountains, Russia. The forest-steppe landscapes, rivers and abundance of mineral resources have attracted people to region since ancient times. Properties of cultural layer (CLs): close to neutral pH, well structured, absence of salinity, enrichment with exchangeable calcium and anthropogenic phosphorus (0.2–0.4%). The majority of CLs start from 3–25 cm and last up to 40–60 cm and contain 6–10% organic carbon (Corg), in a layer of 0–20 cm because modern processes are developing here, at Ishkulovo site (around 14th century) Corg decreases to 1.3%, because CL is below 80 cm and in the absence of fresh organic material it is mineralized. The content of microbial biomass of the 0–10 cm layer is 520–680 μg С/g of soil, microbes cause the emission of 0.2–1.0 μg C–CO2/g soil per h. The proximity of the studied sites to deposits of copper, chromium, zinc, manganese and Magnitogorsk Metallurgical and Uchaly processing plants creates geochemical anomalies of soils. Pollutants are also released into the CLs from bronze products, ore, ceramic fragments and raw materials from their manufacture. It leads to the concentration of pollutants of the 1st (arsenic, lead, zinc) and 2nd (cobalt, copper, nickel, chromium) hazard classes in the studied CLs, often in quantities higher than the clarke and less often – more than the allowable content for human health.

The appearance of the soil, i.e. its morphology, is a reflection of its internal features, such as mineral composition and physico-chemical characteristics. External qualities of genetic horizons reproduce the material composition of the soil, and in their professional analysis can give an idea of the nature of the regimes that determine the modern processes of soil genesis. Morphogenetic characteristic properties of soil are formed in the process of soil formation. There is a number of works and publications regarding the morphogenesis of soils of beligerative complexes, but due to certain difficulties in their research, the available factual information is insignificant, insufficiently systematized and generalized. Researchers have difficulty classifying and diagnosing research objects when studying such soils. Discussions on these issues continue to this day. The old castle of the Kamyanets-Podilsky State Historical Museum-Reserve is a long-lasting self-regulated military fortification beligerative landscape complex of the slope type. Located in the canyon part of the valley of the river Smotrych. The total area of the Old Castle is about 4.5 hectares. The initial soil surveys within the Old Castle were conducted in 1932 by Professor VV Akimtsev, as a result of which the morphogenetic properties of the soil formed on the open terrace of the “Denna Tower” were described in detail. The article analyzes the available scientific works and publications on the morphogenesis of modern and buried soils of beligerative complexes. A comparative analysis of different morphogenetic features of urborendzin formed on the “Denna Tower” of the Old Castle in Kamianets-Podilskyi region is carried out. Detailed descriptions of morphogenetic characteristic properties of the studied soil are given. Much attention is paid to differences in morphological descriptions. The dynamics of changes in morphogenetic parameters is established. The comparison of indexing systems of genetic horizons of the studied soil used by different researchers is given. The classification of the FAO system (WRB, 2006) in combination with the substrate-functional classification of anthropogenic soils O. B. Vovk and the profile-genetic classification of M. M. Stroganova were used. The following scientific methods were used in the process of research of morphological features of beligerative structures soils of the Kamianets-Podilskyi Old Castle: morphological, cartographic, source, problem-chronological, comparative-geographical, and archeological. Key words: beligerative complex; morphogenesis; soil, urborendzin; the “Denna Tower”.
