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:10.5284/1000136

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/10.5284/1000136

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:10.5284/1000136. The HTML for this would look like:

<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000136">doi:10.5284/1000136</a>

Humber Field Archaeology (2008) East Riding of Yorkshire: assessment of archaeological resource in aggregate areas [data-set]. York: Archaeology Data Service [distributor] (doi:10.5284/1000136)

Introduction

This desk-based assessment of aggregate-producing areas in the East Riding of Yorkshire was carried out by Humber Field Archaeology, with funding from the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, through arrangement with English Heritage.

Five Study Areas were selected, totalling 274km² in area, targeting areas in Holderness and the Vale of York which contain (or have in the past contained) economically-exploitable aggregates within the present-day county of the East Riding of Yorkshire. Three of the Study Areas encompassed Areas of Search defined in the Joint Minerals Local Plan, where there is a reasonable expectation of minerals being present in viable quantities, and where it is expected that any new proposals for aggregate extraction would be made in the medium to longer term. Areas outside of this were also included, comprising sites where existing permissions will allow future exploitation, where exploitation in areas just outside of the preferred search zones is likely, or where economic exploitation has been undertaken relatively recently (since the mid-20th century).
