The Working Group on the Anthropocene
Scale and diversity of the physical technosphere
We assess the scale and extent of the physical technosphere, defined here as the summed material output of the contemporary human enterprise. It includes active urban, agricultural and marine components, used to sustain energy and material flow for current human life, and a growing residue layer, currently only in small part recycled back into the active component. Preliminary estimates suggest a technosphere mass of approximately 30 trillion ton…
Know your place? Evaluating the therapeutic benefits of engagement with historic landscapes
This paper emphasises the restorative power of engagement with natural/cultural environments by exploring a body of work that identifies the positive impact of the historic environment on the health and well-being of community archaeology participants. Increasing importance has been ascribed to the role of landscape in public health research and to the environmental factors, which contribute to enhanced quality of life. In reviewing the ways that…
Diachronous beginnings of the Anthropocene
Across a large proportion of Earth's ice-free land surfaces, a solid-phase stratigraphic boundary marks the division between humanly modified ground and natural geological deposits. At its clearest, the division takes the form of an abrupt surface at the base of deposits variously called 'artificial ground', 'anthropogenic ground' or 'archaeological stratigraphy' - which together comprise a distinctive part of the geosphere called the 'archaeosph…
Engaging Communities in the ‘Big Society’
When the UK Coalition Government came to power in May 2010, its members brought with them a localism agenda, based upon what they called the ‘Big Society’. This agenda was focused on community engagement and devolvement of power, and has seen a number of legislative and policy changes in the UK, with the 2012 Localism Act devolving powers to local government, and providing means for local communities to become involved in decision making, inspire…
The Potential of Integrated Urban Deposit Modelling as a Cultural Heritage Planning Tool
Researchers investigating human settlements from an archaeological perspective have long recognized that the urban landscape provides a particular set of challenges and demands. Building on the formative Arup study [Ove Arup and Partners (1991) York Development and Archaeology Study (London: English Heritage)], urban deposit modelling as a heritage planning tool has been developed for some time; however, its use has not become widespread. There a…
A Late Roman Well at Heslington East, York
The supply of fresh water is a central requirement for human settlement. This article discusses evidence associated with the construction, use and demise of a late-Roman well recently excavated at Heslington East near York, UK. It seeks to suggest that, by a holistic analysis of all archaeological evidence, we can distinguish the ideological from the functional dynamics that made up the site formation processes within this feature. The assemblage…
Authority and Community
This paper describes the successes and limitations of our community work during archaeological investigations at Heslington East in York, and draws out some of the wider lessons of this engagement. The successes involved wider participation in the archaeological process by a number of different groups, including often marginalized ones such as homeless people. It not only generated greater understanding of the historical depth of their locality, …
Early Medieval Settlement at Mothecombe, Devon
Excavations at Meadowsfoot Beach, Mothecombe, south Devon, between 2004 and 2011 focused on two main areas. In the first, evidence for occupation in a sand dune included successive hearths and imported early medieval finds. In the second, three phases of early medieval structures were uncovered, along with more imported finds including amphora sherds. At least one of the structures was very large, and is presently unique in Devon. The landscape c…
