Charcoal production is one of the oldest recorded woodland industries, yet archaeological research into these sites is limited in the UK. This project will investigate the scale, chronology and diversity of charcoal production in West and South Yorkshire in relation to woodland management, ecology and environmental change. By integrating archival research, remote sensing, field walking, geoarchaeology, charcoal analysis, palynology and radiocarbon dating this PhD will contribute to national and international studies of charcoal and woodland industries, and inform policies of woodland management and plantation strategies.

木炭生产是有记录的最古老的林地工业之一，但在英国，对这些遗址的考古研究有限。该项目将调查约克郡西部和南部木炭生产的规模、年代和多样性，以及与林地管理、生态和环境变化的关系。通过整合档案研究，遥感，野外行走，地质考古学，木炭分析，孢粉学和放射性碳测年，该博士学位将有助于木炭和林地产业的国家和国际研究，并为林地管理和种植园策略的政策提供信息。
