This report presents the results of the excavation of a stone ford laid across the base of a small stream valley near Rough Castle, Falkirk. It was discovered during an opencast coal mining project. Radiocarbon dates and pollen analysis of deposits overlying the ford combine to indicate a date for its construction no later than the early first millennium cal BC. Interpreting this evidence was not straightforward and the report raises significant issues about site formation processes and the interpretation of radiocarbon and pollen evidence. The importance of these issues extends beyond the rarely investigated features such as fords and deserve a larger place in the archaeological literature.

Mining Width

In order to solve the problem of coal mining under villages of regions of Yaoqiao Mine, through comprehensive analysis, the author considers that strip mining has feasibility in realistic, meanwhile, a series of mining width and retaining width was studied for strip mining and eventually a mining project was put forward to meet the unique conditions. By comparing application conditions and range of application between continuous miner used in strip type of Wongawilli coal mining method and shortwall shearer mining method, the author analyzes the economic benefit and draws a conclusion that shortwall shearer mining method has better applicability. Those all provide a new way to mining under villages in Yaoqiao Mine and the conclusion can also be used for reference in similar mining conditions.

The Impact

The potential cumulative impact of coal mining and coal seam gas extraction on water resources and water-dependent assets from proposed developments in eastern Australia have been recently assessed through a Bioregional Assessment Programme. This study investigates the sensitivity of the Bioregional Assessment results to climate change and hydroclimate variability, using the Gloucester sub-region as an example. The results indicate that the impact of climate change on streamflow under medium and high future projections can be greater than the impact from coal mining development, particularly where the proposed development is small. The differences in the modelled impact of coal resource development relative to the baseline under different plausible climate futures are relatively small for the Gloucester sub-region but can be significant in regions with large proposed development. The sequencing of hydroclimate time series, particularly when the mine footprint is large, significantly influences the modelled maximum coal resource development impact. The maximum impact on volumetric and high flow variables will be higher if rainfall is high in the period when the mine footprint is largest, and vice-versa for low flow variables. The results suggest that detailed analysis of coal resource development impact should take into account climate change and hydroclimate variability.

The Way

Some kinds of research dealing with environmental problems are faced with the need to measure the relative qualities of different environmental situations. The assessment of environmental impact for resource development projects (including the no-build alternative) when alternative locations are considered implicity involves a comparison of the qualities of different environments. Russell Train, Head of the EPA, has made a plea for the development of environmental indices. There have been a number of attempts to quantatively rank or rate environmental situations. Economists are emphasizing the need to objectively measure the value of environmental attributes, and considerable work has been done in trying to understand the way in which people perceive environmental attributes.
