Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Entec UK Ltd on behalf of Teesside Windfarm Ltd to carry out an archaeological assessment of geophysical data as part of evaluation works prior to the construction of the Teesside offshore wind farm. The geophysical data consisted of sidescan sonar acquired by Pelorus Surveys during December 2009. This assessment focussed on the potential for the remains of maritime craft or aircraft of cultural heritage importance to be present within the footprint of the proposed scheme. A total of 82 sidescan sonar anomalies of potential archaeological interest were observed across the survey area. The majority of these anomalies were flagged as being of potential archaeological interest, as they could not be definitively identified as of anthropogenic origin, and thus could represent natural features. Six anomalies were identified as being sites of archaeological interest because their geophysical signature was more positively anthropogenic. The geophysical anomalies of archaeological interest and previously known wreck sites are all located outside the areas directly affected by development. Some of the charted wrecks were not identified within the sidescan survey data. However, it is recommended that the existing exclusion zones for the known wreck locations should be maintained, as a precautionary measure. Two geophysical anomalies identified as wrecks are located outside the existing exclusion zones of the wrecks they most likely represent. As a result, it is recommended that two new 100m exclusion zones are placed around these anomalies.
