Daniel Young

Dr. Daniel Young is a researcher affiliated with the University of Reading, focusing on environmental archaeology and Quaternary science. His work integrates paleoecological, geoarchaeological, and climatic data to understand human-environment interactions in prehistoric and historical contexts.

• PhD: 'Peatland hydrology, climate change and human societies in Middle and Late Holocene Ireland' (2017)

Research interests include Holocene environmental reconstruction, peatland dynamics, and the impacts of climate change on ecosystems and human societies. His studies often combine sediment analysis, macrofossil identification, and archaeological site investigations.

Recent publications analyze submerged landscapes, Pleistocene human activity, and the environmental context of archaeological sites. His work contributes to debates on cryptic refugia, Neolithic land use, and the archaeology of submerged coastal zones.
