Age, sedimentation, soil forming processes, and geoarchaeological implication of the loess in Northern Italy
are discussed on the basis of new OSL dating obtained at several key-sequences in the Apennine margin
of the Po Plain and on the base of recent literature. The comparison of field data, soil properties, and
luminescence ages offers a new perspective in studying the loess of the Po Plain during the MIS 4 to MIS 2.
