Sediment samples were taken from the various strata in a vertical section exposed during the 1985 excavation of the Nishiyagi sea-cliff in Akashi City. The samples' pH values were measured with a glass electrode by using a sample-to-water ratio of 1:2.5.
Possibilities of bone preservation at the excavation site and in its vicinity, are discussed via the pH analyses. However, environmental factors affecting the preservation of buried bones are complicated, thus this report gives no definite conclusion but speaks for the need of further fundamental studies.
