Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by English Heritage (EH) to conduct a project concerning the application of geophysical and geotechnical/seabed sampling methodologies to marine aggregate deposits that have been demonstrated to contain potential pre-Devensian or Devensian artefactual material. Artefactual material, including hand axes, flakes, cores and faunal remains, were recovered from dredging licence Area 240 (licensed to Hanson Aggregates Marine Ltd.) in 2008, situated approximately 11km off the coast of Great Yarmouth. The findings show that significant archaeological material can be present in deposits that are being targeted for marine aggregate extraction. The place where the finds were dredged is relatively discrete, and the provenance of the artefacts is secure. The area where the hand axes were recovered is currently subject to a rectangular exclusion zone based on dredger trackplots, implemented voluntarily by Hanson Aggregates Marine Ltd. The principal aim of the project is to improve the future management of the potential effects of aggregate dredging on the marine historic environment by developing techniques to evaluating the source of prehistoric artefactual material discovered in the East Coast region.
