Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book contains nine selected reviews and case studies on palaeopedology, including the geological history of soils, time resolution in alluvial stratigraphy, and Quaternary pedogenesis. Case studies illustrating the various approaches to paleosols and their uses in archaeology, stratigraphy, sedimentology and basin analysis are also included.
