Talk:Dyar site

Close paraphrase
Selections have been taken from the cited reference with minor adjustments to the wording.

For example, this text from the reference: "'The stratigraphy of the Dyar village consisted of four strata. The upper stratum was composed of a fine clay alluvium, which ranged in thickness from 45 cm just south of the mound to over 1.6 m in the extreme northeastern portion of the site. This alluvium is apparently the result of culturally accelerated sedimentation caused by poor farming practices during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries'"

Becomes: "The stratigraphy of the village had four strata. The upper stratum was fine clay alluvium from poor farming practices in the 19th and 20th centuries." --Koppas (talk) 20:05, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
