Formation, morphology and interpretation of darkened faecal spherulites
Faecal spherulites are a common indicator of dung in archaeological deposits and most of the basic processes of their formation and taphonomy have been explained. However, a darkened form is also regularly found, ranging from slightly transparent through to completely opaque. These have been less well studied, so we set out here to understand what actually causes the darkening and to determine the range of conditions required to produce the chang…
Aspects of the chemical and microscopic characteristics of plant ashes found in archaeological soils
Earthworm Activity and Archaeological Stratigraphy
Microscopic Egyptian Blue (Synthetic Cuprorivaite) from Sediments at Two Archaeological Sites in West Central England
Geophysical evidence for fires in antiquity
The ubiquitous use of fire in antiquity has been identified as an important mechanism for the magnetic enhancement of archaeological sediments and their subsequent identification through the use of surface magnetometer or topsoil susceptibility surveys. However, despite a number of specific studies there remains little quantitative evidence to examine the effect of domestic fire on the magnetic properties of soils and estimate the degree of magne…
The Effects of Fire on Archaeological Soils and Sediments
Although fire is a fundamental building block of interpretation, details of its effect on archaeological substrates are still poorly understood. The key questions, from an interpretative point of view, are the level of heating produced in the soil underneath different fires and the degree of reddening preserved in the final stratigraphy. This paper explores these questions by examination of previous studies and through a series of instrumented ex…
The Production and Preservation of Faecal Spherulites
Tests and Guidelines for the Suitability of Sands to be used in Archaeological Site Reburial
The Micromorphological Identification of Faecal Spherulites from Archaeological and Modern Materials
Mechanical Coring as an Aid to Archaeological Projects
The practicalities of a commercially available mechanical coring apparatus are discussed. Examples are shown illustrating its use as a partial alternative to test-pitting and as the only feasible technique for deep evaluation in urban conditions. Other uses include defining site edges, following features off-site, and some forms of sampling for specialists. Attention must be paid to the interpretive problems that can arise. These are primarily du…
