Subject: [ZOOARCH] soil acidity and bone survival
Hello Zooarchers
I have noticed that there is tendency to put down poor survival of animal bone to the acidity of the soil in an area. This is often established by a glance at a geological map.
I am sure there must be studies of bone survival where the soil Ph has actually been measured.
Can anyone point me towards an example of this?
Many Thanks
Sylvia
