This volume details the results of archaeological and
palaeoecological survey carried out in Cumbria between 1991 and
1997 as part of the North West Wetlands Survey. Divided
geographically, the sections focus on southern Cumbria, the western
coastal plain and north plains, discussing the background, aims and
methodology of the project. The results of the survey highlight the
long sequences of pollen and plant macrofossils that are preserved
in Cumbria, some dating back to the Holocene. Having identified
important areas, the authors focus on current threats to these
areas, why these areas are in danger and possible management
strategies for the future.
New research is incorporated in this examination of the landscape,
palaeoecology, and archaeology of Over Wyre, Lytham Moss, the
Central Fylde, the Lune Estuary Mosses, and the Arnside/ Silverdale
area. The final chapters provide a synthesis of the evidence from
the late glacial through to the post-medieval period. This is the
third volume in English Heritage's survey of England's North West
Wetlands.
