Not only are they primary reservoirs for artifacts, they often encase entire sites. And soil-forming processes in themselves are an important component of site formation, influencing which artifacts, features, and environmental indicators (floral, faunal, and geological) will be destroyed and to what extent and which will be preserved and how well. In this book, Holliday will address each of these issues in terms of fundamentals as well as in field case histories from all over the world. The focus will be on principles of soil geomorphology , soil stratigraphy, and soil chemistry and their applications in archaeological research.Oxford scholarship online.Soil science in archaeologySoil science in archaeology.930.1/028Holliday Vance T1601819MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821847503321Soils in archaeological research3925592UNINA
