Human burials can affect soil elemental composition for millennia-analysis of necrosols from the Corded Ware Culture graveyard in the Czech Republic
Original language description
How long decomposed buried human bodies affect soil elemental composition is so far not well-known. Using portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, we determined the elemental composition of sandy necrosols from a Corded Ware Culture (ca 2800-2500 BCE) graveyard, Chuderin, Czech Republic. The elemental compositions of soils in the grave infills were studied and compared with arable and subsoil layers. After removal of the arable layer, infills of graves were identified by the black color in contrast with their reddish surroundings. The burials affected the content of elements even after more than 4500 years. Increased C contents compared with arable and subsoil layers were recorded only close to bones.
