Abstract
An evaluation of the contribution of soil micromorphology to the study of ancient arable agriculture
Stephen P Carter
Donald A Davidson
535 - 547
Provides an overview of the development of soil micromorphological studies of ancient agriculture and the current position of research in this field. Proposes that soil micromorphology should retain a key role in the determination of the impact of agriculture in soils (encompassing issues such as erosion, soil structure, fertility, and biological activity) and that soil micromorphology cannot be used at present to identify cultivation in ancient soils (see also 2002/708 and 2002/703).
A reply to Carter and Davidson's ``An evaluation of the contribution of soil micromorphology to the study of ancient agriculture''
Richard I Macphail
549 - 564
Challenges Cater and Davidson's (1998) assertion that soil micromorphology cannot be used to identify ancient agriculture (see also 2002/702 and 2002/703).
Micromorphological interpretation of a ``turf-filled'' funerary shaft at St Albans, United Kingdom
Richard I Macphail

Rosalind Niblett
617 - 644
Reports the analysis (using soil micromorphology, energy dispersive X-ray, microprobe analysis and diatom investigations) of seven thin sections and polished soil blocks from a (c. AD 55) ``turf filled'' funerary shaft. As expected the soils from the local area had been exploited. In addition, it seems likely that the ``turf'' material included cattle dung, trampled soils and enigmatic pond-like sediments and that both natural local soils and soils associated with pasture and animal enclosures/husbandry were employed in the construction.
