Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by RPS on behalf of the Port of Tilbury London Ltd. to produce a final report for all archaeological mitigation undertaken as part of the Tilbury 2 Development. This included the: protocol for unexpected archaeological discoveries; archaeological investigation of geophysical anomalies through UXO survey and diver survey; archaeological assessment of post-WID dredge marine geophysical survey data; and an archaeological watching brief for intertidal works. Although the archaeological assessment of geophysical survey data suggested the presence of anomalies of possible archaeological interest (A2s), the UXO and diver surveys demonstrated that they were generally either modern debris related to 20th century activities at the jetty or were natural features. No features of archaeological interest were identified.
The archaeological assessment of post-WID dredge marine geophysical feature did not reveal any further anomalies of possible archaeological interest.
Apart from 20th century finds reported during the UXO survey and determined to be of no archaeological interest, no further finds were reported through the Protocol.
There were no finds from the archaeological watching brief during the intertidal piling operations.
In conclusion, the recommended archaeological mitigation was appropriately implemented, and ensured that any anomalies of possible archaeological interest were sufficiently investigated to confirm their character as non-archaeological, and a safety net was in place for any unexpected archaeological discoveries. |
