ALSF Aggregate Extraction in the Ribble Valley. Preliminary Report Stage 1

This report presents the preliminary results of Stage 1 of the ALSF Ribble Valley Aggregate
Extraction project. The work was undertaken as a joint project between University of
Liverpool and Oxford Archaeology North (OA North), and was funded by the Aggregates
Levy Sustainability Fund and under the overall management of English Heritage. The
responsibility of the project was split such that the geological and geomorphological
elements of the project were undertaken by Liverpool University and the archaeological
elements were undertaken by OA North; the palaeobotanic work was split between both
organisations.
