We propose
a first sedimentation model for the Holocene part of the lacustrine sedimentary sequence. The lake was
minimal or disappeared at ca 12e9.6 and after 4.5 ka cal. BP, relatively deep at 9.6e7.1 and 6.4
e4.5 ka cal. BP and shallow at 7.1e6.4 ka cal. BP. Conclusively, we highlighted solved and unsolved
geological problems of the Darhad Basin, the most important of which are our recognized stages of the
paleolake development (solved) and the detailed chronology and environments of the lacustrine and
glacial events (unsolved).
