The rounding and frosting of quartz grains,
as well as their surface micromorphology as
seen under an electron microscope (SEM)
indicate that this was a time of low-intensi-
ty aeolian processes.
The formation of the weathering-soil
horizon corresponds to a disappearing rela-
tively humid climate. The overlying
deposit series reveals an growing share of
grains featuring aeolian abrasion, inversely
proportionate to layer age. Deflation
processes lowered the former wadi west of
the investigated site by about 3 m by
deflation processes and the windblown
material spread out on the rock terrace
slope in a continuous layer.
