Notes: XRF = X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, ICP-AES = inductively coupled plasma–atomic emission spectrometry, ICP-MS = inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry, G = gravimetric analysis. FeO(t) = total iron as FeO including Fe in hematite, pyrite (of which a minor proportion occurs in wallrock fragments), and scarce wallrock chlorite. S(t) = total sulfur (sulfide + sulfate). LOD = loss on drying at 105°C (samples predried at ~40°C), LOI = loss on ignition at 1050°C. NA = not analyzed. Average Roman Ruins = Fe-Mn-Si deposit (N = 16), from Binns et al. (2002) plus new data. * = most Cl and Na, and about half of Mg from trapped sea salt. † = outliers excluded from the averages (single samples): 9 ppm Cd; 335 ppm Mo; 3.0 wt% Pb (suspected contamination); 685 ppm Sb; 129 ppm Tl.
