In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy. (One or two is fine, especially if you're in a smaller fandom!) The article,
"Predicting the preservation of cultural artefacts and buried materials in soil" by Mark Kibblewhite, Gergely Tóth, and Tamás Hermann, covers the preservation in various types of soil of bones, teeth and shells; ceramics, glass and phytoliths; organic materials; various metals; and stone and plaster. There are also sections on stratigraphy and soil properties.
I found this to be invaluable in writing my Yuletide treat,
"The Mystery of Mantlemass"; and I suspect it would be useful not only for anyone else writing fanfic that involves archaeology but also for people writing casefic, especially involving a cold case.
