In order to make a tangible contribution to extant environmental datasets it is the intention that a number of cores be taken in relative proximity to known sites of Late Pleistocene activity in Scotland. The first task will be collation and curation of data attesting to the nature of development and change in Late Pleistocene landscapes and environments. It will also be necessary to profile the nature of human and faunal movement and recolonisation within landscapes, the conditions which are conducive to these processes and potential markers for these events archaeologically and environmentally. It is the intention that Late Pleistocene archaeological sites be engaged with wherever possible in regard to fieldwork, in order to expand understanding of spatial interactions with environmental contexts. The impact of this research will be profound in terms of understanding the development of early human-environment interactions and further to this the placement of recolonisations (human and faunal) temporally and situationally. Through an understanding of early impact on and relation to environments, strategies for long-term management and a deeper connection to modern landscapes can develop. This project will extend further from a purely academic output to creative outlets and hopefully a long-term visual interactive format, potentially in the form of an online model mapping potential human and faunal movement (Multiple Scenario Approach). Considering creative outputs, artistic/visual presentations of the data may be considered, in for example an illustrated narrative guide. Science communication is a passion of mine, so the development of my PhD will be documented by a blog and accompanying podcast and an information packet for stakeholders will be developed, to increase accessibility to my research. An integral aspect of the integrity of my research is accountability to FAIR Principles and dedication to the practice of open science.

为了对现存的环境数据集做出切实的贡献，打算在苏格兰晚更新世活动的已知地点附近采集一些岩心。第一项任务将是整理和管理数据，证明晚更新世景观和环境的发展和变化的性质。还必须描述景观中人类和动物的运动和繁殖的性质，有利于这些过程的条件以及这些事件在考古学和环境方面的潜在标志。目的是尽可能地在实地考察中参与晚更新世考古遗址，以扩大对环境背景空间相互作用的理解。这项研究的影响将是深刻的，在了解早期人类与环境相互作用的发展，并进一步到这一点的时间和情境的安排的生态系统（人类和动物）。通过了解早期对环境的影响和与环境的关系，可以制定长期管理战略，并与现代景观建立更深层次的联系。该项目将从纯粹的学术产出进一步扩展到创造性的渠道，并有望成为一种长期的视觉互动形式，可能以在线模型的形式绘制潜在的人类和动物运动（多场景方法）。考虑到创造性的输出，可以考虑数据的艺术/视觉呈现，例如在图示的叙述指南中。科学交流是我的一个激情，所以我的博士学位的发展将通过博客和附带的播客记录，并为利益相关者开发信息包，以增加我的研究的可访问性。我的研究的完整性的一个组成部分是对公平原则的责任和对开放科学实践的奉献。
