“…The presence of soil polysaccharides can be evaluated from the viewpoint of a plant stock storage by humans versus an accumulation by natural presence of soil microbial communities. Again, lipids of animal origin such as cholesterol (Hjulström and Isaksson, 2009) in soil samples can serve as another evidence of past human beings settlements. An advantage of soil lipids and associated compounds determinations can easily be substantiated by understanding the sources for waxes (residues of inhibited biological activity), carotenoids (plant pigments) and resins (wood of coniferous tree species).…”

“…For example, geochemical survey has been used to attempt to identify low status sites not identifiable through other conventional forms of archaeological prospection (Aston 1998); as a general site prospection tool (Schleizinger and Howes 2000); identify agricultural and habitation residues (Entwistle et al 1998) and identify functional areas of archaeological sites (Wilson et al 2008;Parnell et al 2002;Hjulstrӧm and Isaksson 2009). Whether geochemical survey is an effective tool for recognising low status archaeological sites or for identifying agricultural/habitation residues remains an open question.…”
