Various types of studies on morphological and chemical analysis have provided an invaluable source of information for historians as well as archaeologists to reconstruct the past history, palaeodiet and palaeoenvironmental conditions of the ancient settlement. During last two decades a number of researches have been carried out on this discipline by different archaeologists, through physical and chemical analysis of archaeological bones, recovered from varied archaeological sites of the world. Present study was conducted in the bone remains of experimental goats, as they were fed by various types of induced diet sometimes eight years back. It was aimed to establish a base-line data of different elements in the bone remains of Himalayan domestic goats (Capra jharal) relation to induced diet and different buried levels of depth. Trace elements were analyzed from bone remains of experimental/controlled goats, through inductively coupled Plasma Emission (ICPE) Spectrophotometer. The results obtained are significant and it is observed that the preservation status i.e. pH of soil, plays an important role in altering the concentration level of trace elements, and it is seen that the alteration is directly proportional to the buried level. Meanwhile it was also noticed that the lowest level i.e. 1.80 meter of depth was found suitable for the preservation of skeletal remains, as the value of pH and concentration of different trace elements analysed in the bone remains of goatburied at this level were unchanged up to eight years.
