Abstract:		 Proposes to use the authigenic minerals that form in situ within the cave sediments to reconstruct the ancient chemical environments in the sediments. This is done by experimentally determining the conditions under which each of the authigenic minerals are stable. Although this information is not available to date for minerals formed in a prehistoric cave, calculated stability field data for the relevant minerals is presented. This information, particularly is based on measurements of real authigenic cave minerals, will facilitate an assessment of the completeness of the cave archaeological record. This is particularly important for determining whether or not the distributions of archaeologically important materials such as bones, teeth, plant phytoliths, charcoal and ash, reflect their original burial distributions or were altered as a result of secondary diagenetic processes.
