Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
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. | |||||||||
