Metadata: 2004, NOC, A Reassessment of the Archaeological Potential of Continental Shelves
Abstract:
Author: National Oceanography Centre (NOC) at the University of Southampton. Report number: R140. The aims of this project directly corresponded to the key research themes as being essential to our understanding of the archaeology of continental shelves, they were as follows, to re-appraise the methods used to construct palaeogeographic maps for the contextualisation of submerged continental shelf archaeology. To provide a state of knowledge review of the submerged archaeology (primary, secondary and tertiary contexts) of continental shelves, with particular emphasis on the NW European Continental shelf. To assess the potential impact of the physical processes associated with marine transgressions and regressions on the archaeological deposits and associated environments of continental shelves. To gain a more realistic understanding of the submerged archaeological potential of continental shelves and to facilitate the development of predictive models and to disseminate the results of the research project to the academic community, the aggregates industry and the general public. In order to tackle these themes for submerged archaeological studies this project aimed to undertake a wide-ranging literature review, in terms of both space and time. This work also interrogated extant literature from research disciplines including archaeology, anthropology, ethnography, oceanography, geology, biogeography and geophysics.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4267 |
| 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. | 2004, NOC, A Reassessment of the Archaeological Potential of Continental Shelves |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | 3362MAIN |
| 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. | 023e10dfb83e50999b9aba3891b48480 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 19046 |
| 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. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2004 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2004 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 1 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/ISO_19139_Schemas/resources/uom/gmxUom.xml#m |
| 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 |
