Munsell Soil Color
Munsell soil color recording is the standard method for describing the color of soils, sediments, and artifacts in archaeology and geoarchaeology using Albert Munsell's perceptually ordered color system. Rather than relying on subjective names like 'brown' or 'tan,' the analyst matches a sample to printed color chips and records a three-part notation — hue, value, and chroma — that fixes the color as a point in a standardized three-dimensional space. This makes color a reproducible, communicable observation that different excavators, sites, and decades can compare directly. Color in turn carries information about organic content, oxidation and reduction, burning, and parent material, so disciplined Munsell recording is a routine first step in distinguishing deposits, defining horizons, and reading site formation.
