Abstract

Archaeological Services WYAS (ASWYAS) has recently completed a project aimed at enhancing the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic period record held by South Yorkshire Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) and developing appropriate mitigation strategies within the planning process. This was achieved through a reassessment and enhancement of existing records, and the creation of new records with information gathered from published and unpublished sources and from repositories such as regional museums and libraries. As a result, the number of recorded early prehistoric sites and findspots in South Yorkshire has more than doubled and the importance of cave sites, upland locations and wetland environments has been highlighted.
