Metadata: Understanding submerged palaeo-environments in the southern North Sea: Pathways and timescales of hominin colonisation
Abstract:
This project, commissioned by English Heritage, addresses certain key questions identified in existing research frameworks concerning the palaeolandscapes of two key periods of recolonisation: Late Middle/Upper Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage (MIS 3) and post-Last Glacial Maximum (MIS 2-1); i.e. the last 60 thousand years. An assessment has been undertaken to establish the potential of the geophysical, geoarchaeological and existing archaeological resource to enhance our understanding of the archaeological potential and significance of submerged landscapes and their relationship to archaeological understanding onshore.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 11664 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Understanding submerged palaeo-environments in the southern North Sea: Pathways and timescales of hominin colonisation |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | fed47785-84ea-3763-85e3-739aff86b8c8 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | wessexar1-205909 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2014-01-09 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2015-03-06 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |
