Abstract:		 An outline of the Environmental Archaeology of Breckland is presented. The Breckland Archaeological Survey was designed to enhance the SMR record and thereby to aid implementation of stipulations related to the ESA status of the area. To aid future decisions on site management, investigations of potentially waterlogged deposits at five sites were made. The stratigraphy, pH and % dry weight of deposits were determined, and small samples were assessed for macrofossil preservation. Only at Cavenham Mere, adjacent to a known Neolithic site, were deep sequences of well-structured waterlogged peats found. It was recommended that any future proposals affecting the hydrology of this site should be carefully considered: if these are unavoidable, archaeological intervention and palaeoecological study would be necessary.
