Abstract:		 Outlines the study of early agricultural soils by micromorphology and reviews the effects of tillage due to modern agriculture. Results from four experiments in 'prehistoric' cultivation are presented and used to interpret prehistoric agricultural practices from archaeological soils in NW Europe. It is suggested that microfabric features, varying according to soil texture, can be diagnostic of tillage, especially when taken together with other features. British sites mentioned are Phoenix Wharf (London), Chysauster, Strathallan Neo site, Kilham Neo barrow, and Ashcombe (Som) Beaker site.
