Archaeological Soil Micromorphology dataset from excavations of the Campus of Cartuja, Granada, Spain, in 2013- 2019

Soil micromorphology data from the analysis of samples collected during excavations by the University of Granada on the campus of Cartuja from 2013-2019. Analysis of the samples was supported by AHRC ‘Landscapes of (Re)Conquest’ project (Grant no. AH/R013861/1, PI Pluskowski, Co-PIs García-Contreras Ruiz and (Michelle) Alexander). <br> Micromorphological investigation was carried out using a Leica DMLP polarising microscope at magnifications of x40 - x400 under Plane Polarised Light (PPL), Crossed Polarised Light (XPL), and where appropriate Oblique Incident Light (OIL). Thin-section description is conducted using the identification and quantification criteria set out by Bullock <em>et al</em>. (1985) and Stoops (2003), with reference to Courty <em>et al</em>. (1989), Mackenzie and Adams (1994) and Mackenzie and Guilford (1980) for rock and mineral identification, Nicosia and Stoops (2017) for anthropogenic inclusions, and Stoops <em>et al</em>. (2018) for further identification of post-depositional alterations. The tables of results use the descriptions, inclusions and interpretations format following Bullock <em>et al.</em> (1985). <br> <strong>List of tables:</strong> Summary Table Cartuja, Granada, Spain (LoR Project) Micromorphology Summary Table 1 Cartuja, Granada Spain (LoR Project) Micromorphology: Deposit type descriptions Table 2 Cartuja, Granada (LoR Project) Micromorphology: Abundance of inclusions (% of area of thin section).

本数据集为格拉纳达大学2013年至2019年在西班牙卡图哈校区考古发掘中采集的样品分析所得的土壤微形态数据。样品分析工作得到艺术与人文研究理事会（AHRC）“（再）征服景观”（Landscapes of (Re)Conquest）项目资助（项目编号：AH/R013861/1，首席研究员为普拉斯科夫斯基（Pluskowski），联合首席研究员为加西亚-孔特雷拉斯·鲁伊斯（García-Contreras Ruiz）与（米歇尔）亚历山大（(Michelle) Alexander)）。

本次微形态分析采用徕卡DMLP偏光显微镜（Leica DMLP polarising microscope），在平面偏振光（Plane Polarised Light，PPL）、正交偏振光（Crossed Polarised Light，XPL）以及适当时采用斜入射光（Oblique Incident Light，OIL）条件下，以40倍至400倍的放大倍率开展。薄片描述遵循布洛克等（Bullock et al., 1985）与斯托普斯（Stoops, 2003）提出的鉴定与量化标准；其中岩石与矿物鉴定参考科蒂等（Courty et al., 1989）、麦肯齐与亚当斯（Mackenzie and Adams, 1994）以及麦肯齐与吉尔福德（Mackenzie and Guilford, 1980）的相关成果，人为包裹体鉴定参考尼科西亚与斯托普斯（Nicosia and Stoops, 2017）的方法，沉积后蚀变与土壤形成物的进一步鉴定则参考斯托普斯等（Stoops et al., 2018）的标准。结果表格采用布洛克等（Bullock et al., 1985）提出的描述、包裹体与解译格式。
