Hello colleagues,

I need some help with the following this is a translation about the soil of a volcano. It is a very short summary. The target audience will be US and the translation is from Chile.

"Carbón de leña fina en los niveles excavados ilustra desmonte de la vegetacion y el movimiento coluvial. Veintiuna muestras de tierra secas recogidas de dos sub-perfiles, de 15 cm hasta una profundidad de 225 cm y 245 a 430cm de profundidad, respectivamente contienen fitolitos de banana. Hojas y papel de morera, pellos de las hojas, lo que confirma la transferencia de los cultivos y la arboricultura de la Polinesia."

I know the Spanish grammar of this original text, is not the best either.

What do you think it means? Two differenct sections of the soil that they dig out or?

Thank you
