Abstract: |
Prior to the construction of the London Gateway (LG) Port, a major development on the north bank of the River Thames, extensive marine archaeological investigations were undertaken. Wessex Archaeology became involved with the project in 2001 and has been integral to these investigations which included the subsequent post-excavation analysis and reporting since that time. The archive for the marine archaeological element of the LG Port project comprises a wealth of information from various methods of investigation utilised including; diver observation, geophysical survey and capital dredging, all of which generated an extensive assemblage of archaeological material and data. Most of the recovered artefacts have already been deposited with several museums and institutions, however the physical and digital archive are yet to be deposited. Southend Museums Service (SMS), who accessioned a majority of the finds, have agreed for the remainder of the archive to be deposited with them. This document summarises the marine archive to be deposited and the methodology used to ensure it is prepared to archival standards. Appendix 1 details the types of archive that exist for the project with a brief description and summary of the quantity where known along with our proposals for rationalising the archive and any other notes. The archive deposited with Southend Museums Service came under accession code SOUMS: A2018.4-5. |
