We analysed the elementary composition of the archaeological surface of a large neolithic building, investigating its spatial organisation. The survey extended beyond the limits of the building to cover over 5000 m2, including a part of … Read More “Large scale geochemical mapping in the Seine valley” »

The analysis of the samples supports the suggestion that they are pieces of herbivore dung. Further analyses are recommended to confirm the identification of … Read More “Animal droppings” »
