Little to no data exists recording the environment that the Neolithic people were living in and how they influenced the landscape through cultivation and related impacts. Typical data archives that would be used for paleoenvironmental reconstruction, such as lakes or peat fens, do not exist in Cranborne Chase because of the well-drained karst landscape. However, during the summer of 2018 a significant drought enhanced the identification of karst features. These features were mapped with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and aerial photography to assist in the identification of potential paleoenvironmental and archeological archives.enUniversity of Minnesota DuluthDorsetCranborne Chaseaerial photographyGeographic Information SystemsPortsdown Chalk FormationkarstWhite Chalk SubgroupUndergraduate Research Opportunities ProgramArticle
