Yes. Phosphate, organic matter, and calcium carbonate concentrations can reveal site utilization patterns. Our 250 m² facility in Laramie, Wyoming has a soil/sediment laboratory that can quantify a wide range of characteristics. Quantification also helps facilitate soil/sediment comparisons between different archaeology sites.
