AB The formation of palimpsests involves phases ofstrongly reduced sediment accumulation, partialsediment erosion or sediment mixing by bioturbation,cryoturbation, peloturbation or processes of mass movement along a slope. Humans may also cause mixingby differential trampling, raking out of fire residues ordung and levelling of dwelling floors. Generally, mixingprocesses cause problems in age determination ofarchaeological sequences resulting in age inversion orunexpectedly young ages. Micromorphology providesan important tool to identify mixing processes and clarifysite formation in order to set up more reliable (chrono-)stratigraphic frameworks of shelter deposits. In addition,the first step to identify and disentangle Palimpsests is toevaluate mixing processes.
