The aim of SASSA is to provide support and training for curators and field archaeologists on the application of soil science techniques to archaeological questions. When complete SASSA will provide:
- Support for archaeologists in the field with recording and interpreting archaeological soils and sediments.
- Guidance on appropriate field and laboratory analytical techniques relevant to answering archaeological questions.
- Examples of the archaeological questions that soil analysis can contribute to, illustrated by case studies.
- A background tutorial on soil concepts and geoarchaeology.
