Dette projekt giver et overblik over, hvordan kysterosion påvirker Storbritannien, og hvilke konsekvenser det har for arkæologien. Det undersøger, hvordan geografiske informationssystemer (GIS, digitale kortlægningsværktøjer) og kystovervågning kan bruges i redningsarkæologi og gavne faget. Projektet gennemgår flere casestudier af sårbare arkæologiske lokaliteter fra forskellige historiske sammenhænge, som er truet af erosion. Ved hjælp af softwareudvidelsen DSAS til at beregne End Point Rate (hvor langt kystlinjen har flyttet sig mellem to opmålinger) vurderes kystens forandringer. Samlet set beskriver projektet, hvordan GIS-arbejde kan supplere arkæologiske studier, når kystnære lokaliteter er i risiko.

This project provides an overview of how coastal erosion affects the United Kingdom and what it means for archaeology. It examines how geographic information systems (GIS, digital mapping tools) and coastal monitoring can be applied in salvage (rescue) archaeology and benefit the field. The project reviews several case studies of vulnerable archaeological sites from different historical contexts that are threatened by erosion. Using the DSAS software extension to calculate the End Point Rate (how far shorelines have shifted between two survey dates), it assesses coastal change. Overall, the project discusses how GIS work can complement archaeological studies when coastal sites are at risk.
