从一个6米高的分层洞穴（南斯拉夫中部的Gomoiava）挖掘出来的38个土壤样本分析了9种亲生物元素：Mg、Sr、Zn、Cu、Ni、Mn、Cr、Pb和b。该遗址建于公元前7000年至公元500年（日历年）。这些结果已经与早期对磷和钙的估计进行了核对，这些估计是在同一地点的一系列更大的样本上得出的。根据有用的信息对结果进行了讨论，以补充磷酸盐分析给出的分层和沉降与环境的关系。结论是淋溶可能使钙和镁的测定结果失真。锰的测定结果可能有助于区分人类和家畜引起的磷酸盐积累。Sr和B的大量积累，两者都有潜在的价值，尽管后者的一些分析结果是可疑的。Zn、Cu和Ni的结果具有高度的相关性，随着解释经验的积累，它们的尖峰可以提供个别地层的精确信息。只有Cr和Pb似乎在这个站点上提供了很少有用的信息。
Thirty-eight soil samples from a sondage excavated through a 6- metre stratified tell (Gomoiava, in central Yugoslavia) have been analysed for nine biophile elements: Mg, Sr, Zn, Cu, Ni, Mn, Cr, Pb and B. The site was occupied from 7000 BC to 500 AD (calendar years). The results have been collated with earlier estimates of P and Ca, made on a larger series of samples from the same site. The results are discussed in terms of useful information, to supplement that given by phosphate analysis, about stratification and the relationship of the settlement to its environment.It is concluded that leaching probably distorts the results for Ca and Mg. The results for Mn may help to distinguish phosphate accumulation due to man from that due to farm livestock. There is significant accumulation of Sr and B, both of which have potential value, although some of the analytical results for the latter are suspect. The results for Zn, Cu and Ni are highly correlated, with sharp peaks which couid provide precise information about individual strata when more experience of interpretation has been gained. Only Cr and Pb appear to provide little useful information at this site.
