这项在危地马拉拉斯波萨斯的Q‘eqchi’玛雅村进行的民族考古研究，旨在为考古应用完善对土壤化学特征与人类活动之间关系的理解。该研究涉及磷、交换离子（钙、钾、镁、钠）和微量元素分析，分别由Mehlich II、乙酸铵和DTPA螯合剂溶液提取土壤和地面。结果表明，食品加工区磷、钾、镁和pH值较高，食品消费区磷浓度较高，pH值较低。交通区域磷和微量元素含量较低，而垃圾处理区域磷和微量元素含量较高。这些结果为了解古代聚落的空间利用提供了重要信息。(C) 2002 Wiley期刊有限公司
This ethnoarchaeological study at the Q'eqchi' Maya village of Las Pozas, Guatemala, aimed to refine the understanding of the relationship between soil chemical signatures and human activities for archaeological applications. The research involved phosphorus, exchangeable ion (calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium), and trace element analysis of soils and earth floors extracted by Mehlich II, ammonium acetate, and DTPA chelate solutions, respectively. The results showed high levels of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and pH in food preparation areas, as well as high phosphorus concentrations and low pH in food consumption areas. The traffic areas exhibited low phosphorus and trace element contents, whereas refuse disposal areas were enriched. These results provide important information for the understanding of space use in ancient settlements. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
