Abstract: |
As part of the London Gateway Port dredging process recorded a total of 24 strikes during the period April 2010 to May 2011 under The Protocol for Archaeological Discoveries (LORDI 2011). The finds and anomalies in this report have been classed and reported as ‘strikes’ in line with the Protocol (ibid.) and sit within the context of previously recorded sites and anomalies. They included a variety of archaeological material and obstruction notifications (where an impact was recorded but no material was brought to the surface). Some of the material of archaeological interest has clear parallels with material from anomalies and sites already recorded or investigated. Others are likely to represent chance finds or stray items. This document provides an assessment of archaeological remains, where recording of a discovery/impact as a ‘strike’ was considered to be appropriate in the specific circumstances of discovery, and in concurrence with the track-plots provided by Dredging, Environment & Marine Engineering (DEME) and their representatives. As a whole, the material represented a broad range of cultural heritage, dating potentially from the medieval period through to the conflict archaeology of World War II, represented by aircraft remains. It is therefore significant in attesting to the diversity, quantity and concentration of archaeology in the Thames. |
