<p>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.</p>

This volume provides a completely new survey of the county's wetland archaeology and changing environment. The study brings together information from all relevant sources, to build up a picture of the landscape and man's indelible traces. Following introductory chapters concerning methodology and background, each chapter describes the mosses of discrete areas of the county. These are followed by a synthesis of the archaeological and palaeoecological data from the Mesolithic to the post-medieval period and comprehensive site gazetteers.

The Wetlands of Cheshire

Although the North West is thought to contain far more peat, wetland archaeology has long been dominated by Eastern England Sites. However, the 1984 discovery of the Lindow Man drew attention to the area's resources, which were degrading due to drainage, peat deflation, forestry, refuse disposal, quarrying and road constuction. This volume records a two-year survey of the peatland's archaeological and palaeological significance, ranging from large raised and floodplain mire systems to the many small basin mires. Among numerous discoveries, the survey identified many previously unknown burnt mounds in the boggy and Weald Moors, and provided the first confirmed evidence for a Shropshire medieval pottery kiln. A detailed summary of past research is included in each chapter, and numerous appendices present further information.

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.
