Archeological sites are frequent in the Brazilian Amazon. The physical, chemical and morphological properties, due to anthropic influence, are quite different from surrounding soils, mainly in the uplands. Although several studies have been carried out to understand the magnitude of these modifications and their influence on the genesis of such soils, aspects such as the mineralogical properties need to be better described. This study aimed at evaluating the chemical and mineralogical properties of anthropic horizons (Au) of soils of upland […]
