Sažetak
Topsoil geochemistry maps of the city of Sisak were compared with historical maps to explain the geochemistry of the topsoil. Historically, three periods of Sisak's development can be distinguished: 1) the Celtic and Roman period; 2) the Medieval period, and 3) the industrial era during the 20th century. Comparison of the geochemical maps with the historical maps reveals 1) the accumulation of elements in the soil and their preservation over 2,000 years; 2) the influence of infrastructural interventions on the geochemical composition of the topsoil and 3) the high rate of accumulation of potentially toxic elements in the topsoil due to rapid industrialisation on purely arable land.
