Applied Soils and Micromorphology in Archaeology provides the most
up-to-date information on soil science and its applications in
archaeology. Based on more than three decades of investigations and
experiments, the volume demonstrates how description protocols and
complimentary methods (SEM/EDS, microprobe, micro-FTIR, bulk soil
chemistry, micro- and macrofossils) are used in interpretations. It also
focuses on key topics, such as palaeosols, cultivation, and occupation
surfaces, and introduces a range of current issues, such as site
inundation, climate change, settlement morphology, herding, trackways,
industrial processes, funerary features, and site transformation.
Structured around important case studies, Applied Soils and
Micromorphology in Archaeology is thoroughly-illustrated, with color
plates and figures, tables and other ancillary materials on its website
(www.cambridge.org/9781107011380); chapter appendices can be accessed
separately using the web (www.geoarchaeology.info/asma). This new book
will serve as an essential volume for all archaeological inquiry about
soil.
