In Europe, additional landfill excavations were also carried out in Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Estonia, and Latvia (Sormunen et al, 2008;Krook et al, 2012;Spooren et al, 2013;Ortner et al, 2014;Wolfsberger et al, 2015a;Maul, Pretz, 2016;Bhatnagar et al, 2013;Bhatnagar et al, 2017;Dāce, Bendere, 2017;García López et al, 2018).
