How did ancient human activities influence the properties and development of soil?—a case study of the Yangshao Village cultural relic site, Henan Province by Zha, Lisi, Wang, Wenjing, Zhong, Junhong, Su, Yiqi, Chang, Dandan

“…It was assumed that the ground was used to cover the grain or bury the garbage and lay with clay in order to achieve the effect of sealing. As a result, the soil voids and structure had been damaged to some extent, which prevented the downward leaching or precipitation of soil particles and minerals to a certain extent, thus affecting soil development.…”
