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:10.5284/1000016

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/10.5284/1000016

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:10.5284/1000016. The HTML for this would look like:

<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000016">doi:10.5284/1000016</a>

Introduction

The 'Archaeological Survey of Mineral Extraction Sites around the Thames Estuary' project was undertaken by Essex and Kent County Councils, Dr Francis Wenban-Smith and Dr Peter Allen, and funded through the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund as disbursed by English Heritage.

The first phase of the project took place in 2003 - 2004 to establish up to date information on the historic environment in extant and former mineral extraction sites on both sides of the Thames estuary in Kent and Essex, around the Thurrock / Dartford / Gravesend area. The study was focussed particularly on Pleistocene Geology / Palaeolithic Archaeology and Industrial Archaeology. These studies include consideration of the known resource, potential of the extraction sites and their immediate environs and the significance of the resource. The outputs of this Phase I Study comprised a series of GIS layers containing information on the specialist studies and assessment report.

Phase II of the project focussed on dissemination of these results - through the preparation of a summary guide (including data catalogue) and collation of the archive.
