Popis: The analysis of desert soils near archaeological sites allowed new insights in the environmental and living conditions of the early inhabitants of the Wadi Howar (NW Sudan) and their interactions with their environment. It also provided us with more information about the soil genesis in arid regions. Further studies should concentrate on dating the described indicators of a more humid climate in the eastern Sahara during the Holocene.
