“…A decade ago, Durham and colleagues (2012) suggested that rewetting drained farmland could become economically viable, as the value of carbon dioxide storage and sequestration grows relative to the return on crops. A decade later, developments in terms of political decision making and economic tools indicate that the authors were correct in their prediction.…”

Wetland archaeological sites offer excellent but vulnerable preservation conditions. This article presents examples of threats to such sites that may be enhanced, or diminished, by climate change, discusses methods for predicting and quantifying impacts, and examines what heritage managers can do to mitigate their effects. The consequences of climate change for wetland archaeological sites are likely to be severe and widespread but hard to predict and with significant local variation. At the same time, wetlands are increasingly acknowledged for their ability to sequester carbon and to mitigate climate change, prompting an increased focus on their protection that may also benefit wetland archaeology.

“…Climate change has figured strongly (e.g. Daly 2011Daly , 2014Durham et al 2012;Kincey et al 2008;Murphy et al 2009) and I am sure that issues related to this will be on the increase in coming years, especially in the face of the denial of its existence in some quarters. It has also been heartening to see twenty-eight articles on maritime archaeological site management over this decade, a recognition of the complexity of issues facing us in managing and conserving the marine archaeological resource.…”
