Here we present a compendium of 212 photographs of archaeological soils and sediments thin sections (micrographs) from the backfill of the Sennacherib Assyrian canal system of Northern Mesopotamia. The micrographs were produced using an optical petrographic microscope (Olympus BX41) mounting a digital camera (Olympus E420) for image acquisition. The dataset is composed of two folders containing (1) every micrograph in full resolution JPEG, and (2) a PDF file with scale bars and brief captions for each one. The dataset represents a photographic comparison collection for individuals working on similar geoarchaeological contexts and can be used for the composition of figures in novel publications, as well as being the first example of published large compendium for shared use in the field of archaeology.
在此，我们展示了来自美索不达米亚北部辛那赫里布亚述运河系统回填土的212张考古土壤和沉积物薄片（显微照片）汇编。这些显微照片是使用配备数码相机（奥林巴斯E420）的光学岩相显微镜（奥林巴斯BX41）进行图像采集制作而成的。该数据集由两个文件夹组成，其中一个包含全分辨率JPEG格式的每张显微照片，另一个是包含比例尺和每张照片简短说明的PDF文件。该数据集为从事类似地质考古研究的人员提供了一个照片对比集合，可用于新出版物中的图片编排，也是考古领域首个公开发布的供共享使用的大型汇编实例。
