Although the re-use of graveyards differs from one country, region or time-period to another, over time graveyard soil may become contaminated or enriched with heavy metal elements. This paper presents heavy metal element soil analysis from two UK church graveyard study sites with contrasting necrosols, but similar burial densities and known burial ages dating back to the 16th Century and some possibly older than 1,000 years. Portable X-Ray fluorescence (pXRF) element laboratory-based analyses were undertaken on surface and near-surface soil pellets. Results show elevated levels of Fe, Pb, Mn, Cr, Cu, Zn and Ca in both necrosols when compared with background values. Element concentration anomalies remained consistently higher than background samples down to 2 m , but reduced with distance away from church buildings. Element concentration anomalies are higher in the clay-rich necrosol than in sandy necrosol. Study results implications suggest that long-used necrosols are likely to be more contaminated with heavy-metal elements than similar soil outside graveyards with implications for burial grounds management, adjacent populations and where burial grounds have been deconsecrated and turned to residential dwellings. 2021 10.21252/sjkk-w810 research.openaccess@keele.ac.uk For indefinite retention. pub Environmental Forensics 10.1007/s11356-022-19676-z DOI http://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-022-19676-z web https://www.thinglink.com/card/1368531711838650369 web https://www.thinglink.com/videocard/1413542942487871491 web http://www.keelesop.co.uk/csinorthwales/
