Abstract
This paper presents the results of geomorphological, geological and archaeological research of the Kudruküla Palaeospit (Narva-Luga Klint Bay) which is the largest Holocene accretion formation in the Eastern Gulf of Finland. It has been ascertained that the barrier formation appeared as a result of glacio-fluvial delta erosion; it was settled by ancient people after the Littorina transgression maximum. In the studied part of the palaeospit, which separated the palaeolagoon from the open sea, the Neolithic – Early Metal Epoch sites existed between 5600 and 4200 cal. BP. Active dune formation began on the marine terrace surface about 3500 years ago (OSL date), when the vast coastal plain areas, covered with sands, were dried due to relative sea-level decrease.
