Summary
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
A new initiative in the Southern North Sea and the English Channel titled Sustainable And Resilient Coastal Cities (SARCC) is, for the first time, assessing historical, archaeological and paleoenvironmental material to understand long term patterns of coastal change. The results will be used by coastal managers to help identify geomorphological changes that have been brought about by nature based processes. The data gathered will help inform the design of urban coastal defences with a focus on nature based solutions. This paper will look at recently exposed submerged and coastal archaeological sites that are being used as sources of information. This will include Mesolithic discoveries at the submerged site of Bouldnor Cliff along with Neolithic, Bronze Age and Roman structures that have recently been exposed in the North West Solent, UK following coastal erosion.
