  • A multi-period riverine landscape narrative of the Ure Valley north of the Roman town of Aldborough ( Isurium Brigantum )

    Open AccessC French, Ben Pear et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Journal2026

    Geoarchaeological survey and palaeoenvironmental analyses were conducted in the floodplain of the river Ure to the north of the Roman town of Isurium Brigantum (Aldborough, North Yorkshire) as part of a complementary campaign of geophysical survey and excavations (2018–2024). This involved an intensive coring survey to understand the development of the valley and the environmental context of the settlement. A large palaeochannel was discovered so…

  • The River That Swallowed the Ringwood Prehistoric Landscape

    Open AccessJessica Taylor, Catherine Langdon et al.ARTICLEInternet Archaeology2025References: 3

    In March 2022, two geoarchaeological boreholes were drilled within the Avon Valley at the site of Jubilee Gardens, Ringwood, Hampshire. The works were commissioned from Connect Archaeology by VolkerFitzpatrick on behalf of their client, National Highways, as part of the A31 road widening and junction improvement works. One sequence was selected for palaeoenvironmental analysis and radiocarbon dating, aiming to provide evidence for landscape devel…

  • Aldborough and the metals economy of northern England, c . AD 345–1700

    Open AccessC P Loveluck, Martin Millett et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2025References: 28

    Increasing interdisciplinary analysis of geoarchaeological records, including sediment and ice cores, permits finer-scale contextual interpretation of the history of anthropogenic environmental impacts. In an interdisciplinary approach to economic history, the authors examine metal pollutants in a sediment core from the Roman metal-producing centre of Aldborough, North Yorkshire, combining this record with textual and archaeological evidence from…

  • Early to Middle Bronze Age agricultural terraces in north-east England

    Open AccessAntony G Brown, Antony Brown et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2023Cited by: 1References: 33

    Terracing is found widely in the Mediterranean and in other hilly and mountainous regions of the world. Yet while archaeological attention to these 'mundane' landscape features has grown, they remain understudied, particularly in Northern Europe. Here, the authors present a multidisciplinary study of terraces in the Breamish Valley, Northumberland. The results date their construction to the Early to Middle Bronze Age, when they were built by cutt…

  • Climate and human exploitation have regulated Atlantic salmon populations in the River Spey, Scotland, over the last 2000 years

    Open AccessDavid Sear, Peter G Langdon et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2022References: 1

    Historical salmon catch records suggest that climatic variability, and more recently human exploitation, control patterns of abundance in Atlantic salmon populations. We present the first long-term (2000-year) reconstruction of Atlantic Salmon population variations based on a Marine Derived Nutrient (MDN) lake sediment record. Our record is constructed from nitrogen isotopes (δ 15 N) measured from a lake sediment core, which we compare with an es…

  • Metabarcoding of modern soil DNA gives a highly local vegetation signal in Svalbard tundra

    Open AccessMary E Edwards, Inger G Alsos et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2018Cited by: 1References: 8

    Environmental DNA retrieved from modern soils (eDNA) and late-Quaternary palaeosols and sediments (aDNA and sedaDNA) promises insight into the composition of present and past terrestrial biotic communities, but few studies address the spatial relationship between recovered eDNA and contributing organisms. Svalbard’s vascular plant flora is well known, and a cold climate enhances preservation of eDNA in soils. Thus, Svalbard plant communities are …

  • A palaeoenvironmental context for Terminal Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic activity in the Colne Valley

    Michael Grant, Craig Stevens et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2014Cited by: 1References: 18

    Multi-proxy analyses from floodplain deposits in the Colne Valley, southern England, have provided a palaeoenvironmental context for the immediately adjacent Terminal Upper Palaeolithic and Early Mesolithic site of Three Ways Wharf. These deposits show the transition from an open cool environment to fully developed heterogeneous floodplain vegetation during the Early Mesolithic. Several distinct phases of burning are shown to have occurred that a…
