Reports from the Environmental Archaeology Unit, York 2001/43, 6 pp. Micromorphology of soils/sediments from Adwick-le-Street,

چکیده
The micromorphological investigation suggested that materials with traces of ploughing, buried under the road, were in situ soils probably truncated or rearranged before burial. The analysis also showed that materials from a context at the roadside (Context 536) were not comparable to the buried soils sealed by the Roman road, and had probably been dumped or deposited by gravity at the road side. There was no evidence that the materials had been transported by water or wind.

This is the case, in particular, because a very high variability was observed both in the thin sections and in the field and the information provided by micromorphology was only of local significance, restricted to the area of thin sections. Comparison of thin sections with the field data shows that micromorphology has no potential for extrapolation of results to the level of context or phase, ...

متن کاملSoil Micromorphology in a New Context the Science-art Project: "Ground-breaking: Experience Past Landscapes in Grains and Pixels"
The premise for the work described in this paper is that the public understanding of the application of soil micromorphology methods is limited; commonly only people working in the subject domains of soil science and, more recently, archaeology, readily appreciate the benefits of developing pedogenetic and archaeological under standings of soils through microscopic evidence. In this paper we d...
متن کاملGeochemical and environmental assessment of heavy metals in soils and sediments of Forumad Chromite mine, NE of Iran
Heavy metal concentration in the soils and sediments has increased worldwide during the last century due to the mining, smelting, and industrial activities. The Forumad chromite deposit is located in the Sabzevar ophiolitic complex (SOC), with a long history of mining activities, yet very little is known about the heavy metal contamination in its surrounding environment. In this research work, ...
متن کاملBacterial diversity impacts as a result of combined sewer overflow in a polluted waterway
Newtown Creek is an industrial waterway and former tidal wetland in New York City. It is one of the most polluted water bodies in the United States and was designated as a superfund site in 2010. For over a century, organic compounds, heavy metals, and other forms of industrial pollution have disrupted the creek’s environment. The creek is also impacted by discharges from twenty combined sewer ...
