Antropogenic material: mineral combustion residues with a diameter similar to that of silt and lutum (less than 63 µm).

Medium coarse combustion residues

Antropogenic material: mineral combustion residues with a diameter similar to that of sand (0.063 to 2 mm).

Coarse combustion residues

Antropogenic material: mineral combustion residues with a diameter greater than 2 mm.
