    • Digital Object Identifiers

    Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are persistent identifiers which can be used to consistently and accurately reference digital objects and/or content. The DOIs provide a way for the ADS resources to be cited in a similar fashion to traditional scholarly materials. More information on DOIs at the ADS can be found on our help page.

    Citing this DOI

    DOIs should be the last element in a citation irrespective of the format used. The DOI citation should begin with "doi:" in lowercase followed by the DOI with no spaces between the ":" and the DOI.

    doi:10.5284/1000308

    DOIs can also be cited as a persistent link from another Web page. This is done by appending the DOI Resolver with the DOI. This would look like:

    http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000308

    However, if it is possible it is best to hide the URL in the href property of the <a> tag and have the link text be of the form doi:10.5284/1000308. The HTML for this would look like:

    <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000308">doi:10.5284/1000308</a>

Introduction

The Assessment of Archaeology within Marine Aggregate project was undertaken by the Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology and commissioned by English Heritage through the Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund. The principle aim of the project was to undertake a review of how archaeology is considered in the Environmental Statements (ESs) which accompany marine aggregate dredging licence applications.

Marine extracted sand and gravel are a key resource for construction and coastal defence schemes and 21% used in England and Wales is from marine sources. To ensure these benefits are sustainable marine aggregate extraction is licensed. Licence applications are accompanied by an ES which outlines the potential impact of extraction and aims to reduce potential damage to the environment. Maritime heritage and archaeology issues are considered in an ES.

The study considered a selection of ESs dating from across the period for which thei production has been required in support of licence applications before focussing on ESs submitted since 1998, when the application procedure underwent major changes. The review uses key legislation and guidance from the last two decades as measures for best practice.
