Abstract: PRISM ( Preservation by Record of Ireland’s Shell Middens ) was a citizen science pilot in Ireland that mobilised volunteers to record vulnerable coastal shell middens through a digital reporting platform. The project enabled rapid documentation, targeted rescue sampling, and new radiocarbon determinations, while serving as a field-based teaching laboratory that tested place-based, co-productive approaches to at-risk heritage. By bringing deep-time archaeological archives into dialogue with contemporary climate hazards, PRISM, and similar projects, can advance environmental humanities practice and inform alternative climate adaptation strategies.
