  • How to cite using this DOI

    • 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:10.5284/1000288

    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/10.5284/1000288

    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:10.5284/1000288. The HTML for this would look like:

    <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000288">doi:10.5284/1000288</a>

Introduction

This project takes the form of a desk-based archaeological assessment to examine the relationship between the historic environment and beach replenishment schemes, by exploring the deposition of archaeological materials on replenished beaches and their former offshore contexts. The area of coast between Mablethorpe and Skegness has been used as a case study, as a major beach replenishment scheme has recently taken place here. The project involves the analysis of data sources and assessment of their usefulness in identifying the potential archaeological impact of beach schemes. This process is carried out with a view to applying the methods outlined in this document to other beach replenishment schemes around the UK.
