A REPORT ON SOME SOIL SAMPLES FROM CARLISLE, CUMBRIA.

Author(s): H C M Keeley

This report describes a number of soil columns and samples collected by the Carlisle Archaeological Unit during excavations in Carlisle at Castle Street, Annetwell Street and The Lanes. Interpretation as required by the excavator has been carried out as far as possible. In general the buried soils appeared to be gleys, indicating that much of the area was subject to waterlogging prior to occupation and may have been marshy in places.
