Overview

English Heritage, as part of a number of initiatives to quantify the state of the Historic Environment, funded this pilot study to quantify the current situation regarding rescue projects with incomplete or inadequate dissemination within three counties with a long history of aggregate extraction, with a view to forming a strategy to unlock their potential, and to assessing an effective methodology for carrying out the project for the entire country. The project seeks only to quantify the current situation with regard to projects arising from soft and hard aggregates extraction.

In order to sample a range of hard (crushed rock) and soft (sand and gravel) aggregate producing areas and a range of archaeological landscapes, the study area for the projects includes all terrestrial aggregate-producing landscapes within the counties of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Oxfordshire. This included the highly productive Trent and Thames Valley sand and gravel areas, and the limestone crushed-rock industry particularly significant in Derbyshire. Projects to be considered include all kinds of archaeological fieldwork relating to both the buried and built historic environment carried out in association with and/or in preparation for aggregates extraction from 1900 to the present day.
