Derbyshire and the Peak District Archaeology and Aggregates Resource Assessment

An assessment of the archaeology and aggregates resources within Derbyshire and the Peak District, including extensive National Mapping Programme aerial photograph transcription. The project was geared around application of the landform element approach, whereby the project area was divided into geomorphological units with distinct archaeological and palaeoenvironmental associations. Archaeological and palaeoenvironmental associations can be tied to appropriate evaluation and mitigation techniques, providing a predictive model and guidance for the application of archaeology within the planning system, particularly in relation to the aggregates and minerals industries.
