ar0005">Two terrestrials and one subaquatic archaeological site are studied.
ar0010">Pattern 1: mix of greigite and mackinawite in the corrosion product layer and transformed medium.
ar0015">Pattern 2: mix of greigite and mackinawite in the corrosion product layer and pyrite in the transformed medium.
ar0020">The oxidising conditions determine whether mackinawite and/or greigite are formed.
ar0025">Presence of organic matter (wood and/or bacteria) enables pyrite nucleation.
