Abstract

The elemental composition of loose sediments in the Kan-i-Gut cave mine located in the foothills of the Turkestan range (Kyrgyzstan) is determined by X-ray fluorescence analysis with the use of synchrotron radiation. The samples of loose sediments are selected at different points in the cave, from the entrance to the lowest horizon. The first geochemical data on residual loose sediments in the Kan-i-Gut cave mine are obtained. They allow detailed study of the poorly studied migration of chemical elements in karstic cavities and its specific conditions, which can remain unchanged for a long time.
