A STUDY OF THE PROPERTIES OF A PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE TO BUCKLAND SAND FOR SITE BURIAL
Author(s): Matt Canti
This report outlines the results of tests for an alternative to Buckland sand for use in reburying archaeological sites. Particle size characteristics, soluble salts and iron coatings are all measured for both the Buckland sand, and the suggested alternative (Bucbricks). Although precise suitability limits for these parameters have never been set, the suggested alternative is recommended in view of its close similarity to Buckland sand in all three tests.
