archaeology and history
Ende war offensichtlich der gesamte Oberboden abgetragen. Es folgte eine Phase ohne Bodenerosion, die genau mit der Zeit der Völkerwanderung zusammenfällt. Offenbar erholte sich nun die Natur von der Landwirtschaft, denn erst im frühen Mittelalter setzte erneut starke Erosion ein. Dies war die Zeit der fränkischen Landnahme und des Landesausbaus. Der gesamte tonreiche Unterboden wurde bis zur Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts, das auch historische Quellen als ökologisches Katastrophenjahrhundert schildern, aufgebraucht.

clay rich subsoil
Some of these paleosols have strongly developed layers, or horizons. In the dryer, western portion of the Palouse, calcium carbonate (lime) and silica-cemented hardpan horizons developed. Soil formation progressed further in the eastern Palouse under higher precipitation, with clay-rich subsoil horizons being formed. Remnants of these paleosol horizons now play an important role in the decline of productivity as they are exposed by continued erosion.

rich in clay
"tonreich" means "mit viel Ton", so in the context it means that the soil is rich in clay.
Hope that helps!

Both Webster\'s Third New International Dictionary and McGraw-Hill\'s Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms (5th Ed.) support \"argilliferous\", although they reverse the definition:
Webster: \"producing or abounding in clay\"
McGraw-Hill: \"abounding in or producing clay\"

Mike McDonald (X)
: Oxford and Chambers only give argillaceous and 'translate' it as 'clayey'.

I think that's correct. This term means "with an abundance of clay". "Clayey" is almost as hard to say as "sixth sense" :)

Cilian O'Tuama
: acc. to Merriam-Webster and Langenscheidt, argillaceous and argilliferous both only means "containing clay", and not "with high clay content"

Webster's Third New International: "producing or abounding in clay" WTNI agrees with your definition of argillaceous.
