Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by London Gateway Port Ltd to provide archaeological services in respect of marine works in the course of developing the London Gateway Port and its associated infrastructure. The purpose of this document is as follows:To describe and identify objects of archaeological interest (finds) recovered during LGP dredging operations and not previously reported upon in detail; To assess available evidence for where and what these finds were dredged from; To assess the available evidence for obstructions of possible archaeological interest encountered during dredging; To provide advice upon the archaeological significance of these finds and obstructions. This report follows the first Strike and Track-plot Report compiled in November 2011 (ref. 72436.01). A total of 9 strikes (finds and obstructions) were recorded during the period September 2011 to May 2014. The retained finds have been recovered from the drag head of the dredgers that have undertaken the work. Most were retained during onboard watching brief by Wessex Archaeology and others were retained by the dredger crew. All of the retained finds have subsequently been examined by specialist archaeologists. The most important discovery has been the wreck of a 19th century paddle steamer in Zone 38. Encountered as an obstruction, it has since been cleared and is reported upon separately. Significantly fewer finds were reported in 2013 than in previous years. This suggests that the archaeological resource within the dredging zones is at the time of reporting diminished, at least to the depth of dredging. The extent to which the unknown maritime and aircraft sites within the dredging zones, suggested by the finds reported upon in this and previous reports, have been removed during the dredging process is unclear.
