Hola, colegas. Estoy traduciendo un texto sobre hallazgos arqueológicos en la Isla de Pascua y necesito saber los términos técnicos para dos frases. La primera de ellas es "sterile clay", la otra la consultaré en otra pregunta de proz.
Transcribo aquí la oración:
The archaeologists dug through superbly preserved archaeological layers toa depth of nearly 138 inches. There they hit ***sterile clay*** and a primordial soil that contained artifacts and the distinctive tubular root molds of the giant, extinct Rapa Nui palm. The same layer yielded the bones of numerous dolphins, which could only have been taken in deep water from ocengoing canoes.
¡Muchas gracias! Un saludo cordial,
Silvia

capa de arcilla sin restos arqueológicos
Tengamos en cuenta que es el estudio arqueológico de un perfil vertical de un pozo. Se busca evidencia de las actividades de los primeros pobladores de la Isla de Pascua.
No interesa para nada la esterilidad desde el punto de vista de microorganismos o formas de vida activas, vivitas y coleando.

tierra amarilla
This is Spanish term for steril ground or dirt. I think it might apply here in this context.
