The good metal preservation probably results from the moderately alkaline pH and very small particle size of the burial soil, in addition to bronze composition.
Burial soil pH is a paramount parameter predicting metal preservation, as it is correlated with redox potential, drainage conditions, biological activity and aeration.
Soil alkalinity is certainly due to the many fragments of carbonatic rocks and plaster rubble dispersed in the burial soil and affected by circulating water solutions.
Moreover, CT images suggests the presence of two additional porous and cracked layers around the artefact, unidentifiable but clearly different from the homogeneous and compact layer made by sand-like burial soil (Figure 6).
Furthermore, the dendrogram enhances strong similarities between burial soil samples and coins (i.e. W-a14us10b/N-a14us10b) thus fully confirming the effect of the soil chemistry on the composition of patinas.
Different parameters affect the corrosion events in archaeological metals that may be related to the metallurgy of the artefact (e.g. composition and manufacture), or the characteristics of the burial soil (e.g. texture, pH, redox potential, soluble salts) [3 11].

Several methods such as alkali hydrolysis (10% NaOH w/v, 80°C), burial in soil and enzymatic hydrolysis were employed for assessing the susceptibility of these novel copolyamides to degradation.
A statistical factorial analysis based on the molar mass Mn and crystallinity degree XC pointed out the relevance and interaction of amount of fibre and use of coupling agent with the time of burial in soil.
This research aims to design a forensic bioreactor that can account for environmental factors known to impact decomposition, specifically temperature, moisture, physical damage from animals, burial depth, soil pH, and organic matter content.
In the context of landmine detection, variations in the class of mines may be caused by the different mine types, burial depth, soil type, and moisture.
Storing carbon by wood burial under soil will not only cut down atmospheric CO2, but also relieve the CO2 burden on the ocean where acidification is of major concern [39].
