Abstract: |
This document sets out the archaeological methods and procedures that accompanied channel clearance and dredging for London Gateway Port. The Port of London Authority (PLA) carried out clearance of wrecks in advance of dredging. The dredging was carried out by DP World (DPW) in the course of developing London Gateway Port. In advance of clearance and dredging, PLA contracted Wessex Archaeology (WA) to provide a series of archaeological services. Further archaeological services accompanying clearance and dredging were commissioned task-by-task. Three major phases of work were undertaken: 1). Pre-clearance works, comprising geophysical survey and diving inspections by the PLA, and archaeological investigations by WA. 2). Clearance Operations by the PLA and by salvage contractors, accompanied where necessary by archaeological investigations. 3). Dredging by a dredging contractor, accompanied by a protocol for archaeological discoveries in the course of dredging, and by monitoring of archaeological exclusion zones. |
