Abstract

 Soil micromorphology is a discipline to interpret the development of soil based on its microscopic features.There are two advantages of its use in archaeology,one is to analyse the relationship between environmental change and cultural development,the other is to analyse the characteristics of archaeological features and the human activity reflected in it.
