Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology has been 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 to provide an overview of the archaeological finds made during post-consent capital dredging: To describe the methodology used to locate and record finds made during capital dredging and associated clearance operations in 2010-14; To summarise and discuss the finds made and the results of the capital dredging. A reporting scheme for archaeological finds was in operation in Zones 1-50 and 102-109. Archaeologists also undertook on board watching briefs. From an archaeological perspective, dredging was undertaken in two phases, with finds reported on in two tranches. This report therefore follows two Strike and Track-plot Report compiled in November 2011 (ref. 72436.01) and September 2014 (ref. 88631.01). Interim geophysical survey and diving inspections were carried out between the phases. A total of approximately 615 finds were recovered during LGP capital dredging and associated operations. Significantly more finds were made during Tranche 1 than in Tranche 2. Finds were for the most part recovered from the drag heads of the trailing hopper suction dredgers used. However, the clearance of two obstructions resulted in the discovery of important archaeological sites: a 19th century paddle tug and a Ju88 German bomber. This report follows two Strike and Track-plot Reports compiled in November 2011 (ref.72436.01) and September 2014 (ref. 88631.01) and incorporates the results of dendrochronological analysis carried out in June 2015 (Bale & Nayling 2015). Investigations of the two most archaeologically significant Strikes, 8024 and 8033, have been the subject of separate reporting.
