Unfair!  At least some of the results of the Historic St. Mary's City's
research is widely available through publication in the journal Historical
Archaeology!!!!!  There you might find at least two articles on midden
analysis incorporating soil chemistry with artifact frequency.  There's the
article by Julia King & Henry Miller on the Van Sweringen site (reprinted
in the SHA reader on material culture) and the one by  Gibb & King in the
1991 issue on gender edited by Donna Seifert.  There is also, of course,
Robert Keeler's dissertation on soil chemistry at the St John's site.
 
Sorry I don't have the exact citations to hand.
