The article is described the characteristics of the vegetation on the explored site of the study and is mentioned the features of the archaeological monument and its significance for paleoecological reconstructions. The morphological approach was used to describe the phytolithic profile. The phytoliths divided into several environmentally significant groups for interpretation.
