Electron Microprobe (EMPA) Data for chemical composition of soil samples taken at Olduvai Gorge Tuff IID

Description: These data are the result of Electron microprobe analyzer data (EMPA) which describe the
chemical composition of soil samples taken during archaeological field excavation in the
summer of 2023 from Tuff IID at Olduvai Gorge. Argon/Argon analyses are a dating technique
used by geologists to understand the chronology of certain formations.
