- Abstract
The colour, grain size and mineralogical composition of 32 soil samples taken in Vilnius City area were determined. The main goal of the study was to test the possibility weather the use of the mentioned results is possible for forensic purposes. Each of 32 samples was made of 5-8 subsamples. The sampling sites were chosen randomly but trying to maintain the distance between them as similar as possible. The depth of sampling was 10 cm below surface. The grain size fractions of gravel, sand, silt, and clay were determined. The major minerals were determined using XRD analysis. The samples were attributed to certain region according to soil colour. Some peculiarities of the grain size fraction distribution presented on the maps could be observed. The brown and pale-brown colour of sampled soils dominates. The carbonates were determined only in six samples. The preliminary results show that using a combination of several methods could be useful in narrowing the area of investigation in forensic.
