Reconnaissance and Soil Chemistry

Within the framework of the Vienna Orme and Pesa Valley Project, geoarchaeological investigations were conducted to situate the sites in the wider landscape and provide context for the main project objectives, including the nature of rural land use and the cultural processes affecting it, issues of site definition and site classification, and differing patterns of material culture. Reconnaissance geoarchaeological survey, coring systematic, and soil sampling was carried out between 2015 and 2016 to characterize sediments, collect samples for geochemical analyses, and place sites and artifacts in an environmental and geological context.
