Modern archaeology has long gone beyond the research of cultural heritage of humanity and aims to study human and historical environment as a whole. A research of the past of the community of any region and epoch should commence with characterization of the contemporaneous paleoenvironment, as it is the changeable, epochal differences that the whole system of economic, social and political development of the society is based on. Thus, unless reconstruction of the paleoenvironment of certain epochs occurs from the very beginning, every effort of proper interpretation of the past of any society will be conducted with major flaws, will be prone to substantial mistakes and establishment of the truth will be difficult.
