This case study discusses the formation processes which conceivably took place during the formation of the infilling of Neolithic rondel ditches.These processes were studied not only from a sedimentological point of view but primarily by means of a micromorphological approach which allowed us to distinguish the synsedimentary and postsedimentary processes more precisely and the formation of textural features macroscopically visible in the section.Different events documenting the phases of stability and erosion phases of various intensity were documented.Geomorphology and possible human impact are also discussed.
