An investigation of soil phosphorus distribution within occupation deposits from a Romano-British hut group

TL;DR: A wide variety of methods have been developed in both soil science and in archaeology to extract and measure soil P, resulting in a tremendous amount of data and a wide array of interpretations, but also considerable confusion over appropriateness of methods and terminology as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pilot study on the chemical analysis of earthen house floors, using both modern and archaeological localities, was undertaken to determine the degree to which activities leave detectable chemical residues, and whether these residues are preserved in archaeological contexts.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has allowed the geoarchaeological significance of a broad range of elements to be investigated on soils collected from a former settlement site on the Trotternish peninsula, Isle of Skye.

TL;DR: Macphail and Goldberg as discussed by the authors provide the most up-to-date information on soil science and its applications in archaeology, based on more than three decades of investigations and experiments, demonstrating how description protocols and complementary methods (SEM/EDS, microprobe, micro-FTIR, bulk soil chemistry, micro-, and macrofossils).

TL;DR: In this article, a thoroughly revised edition presents important methods in the quantitative analysis of geologic data, such as probability, nonparametric statistics, and Fourier analysis, as well as data analysis methods such as the semivariogram and the process of kriging.

TL;DR: The introduction to trend surface analysis is one of the literary work in this world in suitable to be reading material and it will show the amazing benefits of reading a book.
