How to use compaction in a sentence?

1. Connecticut State Archaeologist Nicholas Bellantoni:

   The bone, for 18th-century, is in good condition, but the compaction of the soil around the bone has been difficult ... its a hard compacted loam with large pockets of clay.

2. Louis Uccellini:

   Snow measurements are extremely difficult to take because precipitation is inherently variable, a problem compounded by strong winds and compaction during a long duration event, still, it's important that we scrutinize questionable measurements and reject those that scientists deem invalid to ensure the public's continued confidence in the U.S. climate record.

3. Dennis Moore:

   I think the most important thing with this track right now is that we closely monitor compaction levels.
