Beach replenishment and derived archaeological material

This project takes the form of a desk-based archaeological assessment to examine the relationship between the historic environment and beach replenishment schemes, by exploring the deposition of archaeological materials on replenished beaches and their former offshore contexts. The area of coast between Mablethorpe and Skegness has been used as a case study, as a major beach replenishment scheme has recently taken place here. The project involves the analysis of data sources and assessment of their usefulness in identifying the potential archaeological impact of beach schemes. This process is carried out with a view to applying the methods outlined in this document to other beach replenishment schemes around the UK.本项目以案头考古评估（desk-based archaeological assessment）为形式，通过探究补沙海滩及其原近海埋藏环境内考古遗存的沉积状况，解析历史环境与海滩补沙工程（beach replenishment schemes）之间的内在关联。本次研究选取马布尔索普（Mablethorpe）与斯凯格内斯（Skegness）之间的海岸区域作为案例研究对象，该区域近期已实施大型海滩补沙工程。本项目包含对各类数据源的分析工作，并评估其在识别海滩工程潜在考古影响方面的应用价值。开展上述研究流程的核心目标，是将本文所阐述的研究方法，推广应用于英国境内其他海滩补沙工程的相关考古评估工作中。
