ALB-Historic England-Pilot Project to identify presence of micro-plastics in archaeological soil samples (MICROPLASS) (360G-cabinetoffice-G2-GA-2023061069022-22-23)

This is a pilot project to: 1) identify whether microplastics are entering urban archaeological deposits and to what extent; 2) and to examine what impact their presence may have on the archaeological resource; and 3) assess what this information might tell us about environmental pollution more generally. Historic and recent sediment samples from York will be analysed for comparison.
