The use of two basic mineral magnetic measurements (mass specific magnetic susceptibility and frequency dependent susceptibility) is described in the investigation of archaeobotanical taphonomy from nine sites in West Lewis. Magnetic enhancement was... Read More about Application of mineral magnetism in Atlantic Scotland archaeology 2: magnetic susceptibility and archaeobotanical taphonomy in West Lewis, Scotland.

Natural and archaeological deposits tend to contain mixtures of magnetic grains of differing 1) concentrations, 2) domain states (linked to grain size) and 3) mineralogies. Many laboratory based magnetic measurements are available to study these attr...
