Overview

In 2007 the results of the North Sea Palaeolandscape Project (NSPP) were published providing information on the extent and nature of the submerged Mesolithic landscape contained within the Southern North Sea. The results of this project and the associated data audit identified several other areas within the UK where sufficient data, often in the form of older 2D survey, could support similar a similar study. The west coast of Britain was identified as one area where any information gleaned on the existing palaeolandscapes might contribute significantly to our understanding of the development of the Mesolithic and, potentially, Palaeolithic periods in England and Wales, Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. This project was commissioned to undertake a pilot project within the west coast region and to provide a methodology to support the heritage management within the region with respect to aggregates extraction. The work was specifically linked with ALSF priorities 2.1 and 2.2.
