Be-isotopic content in soils has been used to constrain soil age, to quantify erosion rates, to estimate rates of soil transport and other processes over long time scales (1000 - 10000000 years). Is there any results in estimating parameters of Holocene burried soil (in time between 100 - 1000 years ) with using Be-isotopic method ?

No other isotopes besides stable carbon and oxygen were studied. Samples of the beachrocks were analyzed in a scanning electron microscope with coupled EDAX. In the cement of these rocks (it is not about soil) these isotopes are the main constituents. And as previously answered, the source is shallow marine water in contact with fresh water.
