Abstract
Towards realising the full archaeoenvironmental potential of raised (ombrotrophic) mires in the British Isles
Benjamin R Gearey
Henry H P Chapman
199 - 208
The authors argue that present palaeoecological and archaeological approaches to the study of raised mires within the British Isles have followed largely separate agendas. Palaeoecological study has generally been focused on themes of climate change, using a range of techniques to derive information relating to changes in surface wetness of raised mires over time. In contrast, archaeological study has been broadly limited to themes of preservation and site recovery. The paper argues that the integration of the methods employed within both disciplines can enable an investigation of context unattainable for the majority of archaeological sites. A case study illustrates the recursive nature of human-environment relations in a raised mire system in Ireland.
