Overview

Quarrying and extraction of aggregates on land and at sea affects buried archaeological remains and the historic landscape. Since 2002, substantial sums from the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund have been spent on research projects which aim to help the aggregates industry and heritage sector predict where archaeological remains might be and develop ways of mitigating these effects. Focussed on the places and types of archaeological assets which are affected by aggregates extraction, the dividend has been new knowledge and new ways of exploring, understanding, explaining and challenging our thoughts about our past.

The final product was a report created by Atkins Heritage: Rich Deposits - Aggregates extraction, research and the knowledge pool. This report addresses a specific subset of ALSF funded projects - those which contain significant elements of research and set out to expand our understanding of the historic environment related to aggregates extraction on land and under the sea. The audience for this report is the so-called 'knowledge society' - academics and researchers in higher education institutions; archaeological learned societies; archaeological officers in local authorities (often called curators); those who conduct fieldwork (often in commercial contracting organisations), as well as interested members of the public. These are the groups that both generate and put new knowledge to work - planning and managing archaeological issues with the aggregates industry and engaging communities in history and environmental issues.
