Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment of an area around the Royal Portbury Dock, part of the Port of Bristol, North Somerset. The Site is located in an area of former reclaimed salt marsh at the confluence of the River Avon that has subsequently been subject to substantial groundworks as part of the construction of the Royal Portbury Dock in the 1970s. This construction will have removed archaeological deposits. Although the Site is situated on a substantial level of made ground the proposed piled foundations for the scheme have the potential to impact on the deeply buried archaeologically important Wentlooge formation that is predicted to survive beneath the Site. It is suggested archaeological mitigation should comprise a programme of geoarchaeological analysis undertaken through cores and bulk sediment samples within the proposed piling footprint prior to construction. This would be complimented during the construction phase of the Scheme, with an archaeological watching brief during groundworks (cable runs, etc.), thus resulting in preservation by record. The scale and scope of the mitigation works would be based on the final piling foundation plan and should be confirmed in consultation with the Local Planning Authority Archaeologist and English Heritage at the earliest opportunity.
