Abstract:

In the past few decades, archaeological expeditions of the Inner Coastal Plain of the South Atlantic Slope have justified the development of a new soil phosphate analysis to determine soil site integrity. Noted by the authors were reasons for the importance of this innovative soil analysis, such as its dependability as a chemical indicator of past human activity.
