A great yarn. In   a strange way, it reminds me of the "battlefield medicine" 
still practiced by immediate care givers in developing countries. They have 
no laboratories handy and only a minimum of instruments, medicines and 
diagnostic materials, so they rely very heavily on the observation of minute details 
that would be entirely overlooked by medical students and young doctors in 
developed countries. Reminds me also of the doctors of my childhood who made house 
calls and did most of their diagnoses on the basis of experience, a throat 
stick, a rubber hammer and their fingers.

Since we are not sure what we are looking for in the case of terra preta and 
since so many of the key interactions may be between minute participants, it 
would seem a good idea to apply the same sort of acute, minute observation to 
materials of our concern.

Cordially. ###
