Summary

This project was commissioned to consider if we might be able to move from generic to more specific understandings of potential with regard to submerged prehistory, and how these approaches might be evaluated. In this light a study area was chosen that would allow leverage of onshore and offshore data gained over several decades of research; the Bristol Channel, Somerset Levels and Severn Estuary region. In particular this project had three overarching goals: Assess the efficacy of predictive modelling for the determination of the potential for submerged prehistoric archaeology in English waters; Evaluate the range of methods open to archaeologists when assessing the potential for submerged prehistoric archaeology offshore, and how best to investigate/mitigate for it; and Extend our knowledge of key inter-tidal and offshore sequences in a region already known for its nationally significant inter-tidal and onshore prehistoric record.
