Abstract
Sediment consolidation and archaeological site formation
Brian N Andrews
461 - 478
Consolidation is the reduction in sediment volume that occurs in response to natural overburden loading. As void space is reduced, solid particles within the consolidating sediment undergo rearrangement, including downward displacement and reduction in inclination angle. Buried artefacts are also subject to this rearrangement. An experiment was designed to simulate consolidation of artefact-bearing sediments and document the extent of artefact rearrangement caused by varying degrees of consolidation. Results indicate that artefacts will generally follow the downward movement of the sediment regardless of individual artefact attributes, and that significant reductions in artefact inclination angle can occur.
