Abstract The project aims to produce an integrated, comprehensive archaeological model of the evolution of the Boyne catchment and so develop an environmentally contexualised understanding of a key element of Ireland's archaeological heritage. The project will first focus on identifying and characterising past environmental and land-use changes within the catchment then correlate these with the known archaeological heritage.
