The small medieval village of Church Wilne in Derbyshire, was located on marginal land in the broad alluvial floodplain of the River Derwent, close to its confluence with the River Trent. This ALSF project secured and enhanced the excavation archive relating to archaeological excavations at the site in the 1970's.

| February 2010: Searching for traces of the Southern Dispersal: environmental and historical research on the evolution of human diversity in southern Asia and Australo-Melanesia
This research sought to explore the pattern of population movement (direction, rate, permanency) along a hypothesised route from Africa to Australasia during Oxygen Isotope Stage 4. Using GIS-based analyses and hypothetical models of population movement, potential routes out of East Africa were generated and examined. The goal of these analyses was to assess the viability of particular routes, and consider them in terms of ecological and geographical constraints. As a result, several routes through Africa, Arabia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australasia were proposed and evaluated.
| February 2010: England's Historic Seascapes: Withernsea to Skegness
The project was carried out by the Museum of London Archaeology (MoLA) on behalf of English Heritage, and was been funded by the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF). The study area runs between Withernsea in Yorkshire to Skegness in Lincolnshire, including the Humber Estuary, and extends out into the open sea as far as the median line with Holland. The overall aim of the project is to map and interpret current sea uses in the pilot area, with a view to identifying historic significance of the maritime environment.
| February 2010: Post-Medieval Britain and Ireland (fieldwork summaries)
A searchable on-line database of fieldwork summaries has been created for interventions that have located Post-Medieval remains. The database currently holds sites investigated in 2007 but it will be up-dated in due course to include fieldwork from subsequent years. The on-line query form allows users to search for sites based on location, site name and subject keywords. The results form links through to a grey literature report where it is available on-line.
