When societies stored carbon in towns: formation processes and societal implication ofurban dark earths in early medieval Europe Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The underground of European towns is produced by millennia of interactions between societies and environment. These interactions have created urban strata and soils that can be 10 metres thick. After 30 years, the development of geoarchaeology in an artificialised environment and the application of geosciences allow to characterise the pedo-sedimentary processes and human activity systems which lead to the production of those anthropogenic ...
Sampling density and spatial analysis: a methodological pXRF study of the geochemistry of a Viking-Age house in Ribe, Denmark Vrije Universiteit Brussel
archaeological settlement site with favorable preservation conditions and clearly defined stratigraphic contexts as a benchmark
study to interpret geochemical mapping of anthropogenic elemental markers. We present geochemical elemental mapping of a
Viking-Age house floor in Denmark based on an ...

Medieval markets: A soil micromorphological and archaeobotanical study of the urban stratigraphy of Lier (Belgium) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Market places remain underrepresented in studies of archaeological soil micromorphology. In Lier, micromorphology was applied to gain understanding of the stratigraphy and formation processes of the medieval “Grote Markt”. Block samples were obtained from a sediment profile that spanned the 11 th-15th century and contained three separate phases of thick, dark-coloured, humic, homogeneous layers - so-called ‘dark earth’. Combined with textural ...
