The Langstone Harbour Project aims at providing a full database of known archaeological sites, mapping the area by period, developing GIS for the database, and working out a statement of intent for future management of intertidal archaeological areas. The harbour comprises intertidal mudflats, shinglebanks, and sandbanks, with dryer saltmarsh on the four main vestigial islands in the northern area. The first season was intent on ascertaining archaeological potential, sedimentary history and physical development, and involved a series of auger transects to record the sequence of sediments, as well as fieldwalking to collect diagnostic artefacts. High Precision Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment provided an accurate survey control network for the photogrammetric digital mapping of the harbour and the position of some of the auger points, with other points being coordinated by the Total Station survey extended from the GPS control network. Meso-RB material was confined to the island areas and is eroding, a silt-filled palaeochannel was encountered, and underwater augering showed erosion of archaeological layers. The northern, eastern and western shores of the main islands yielded very little material, either because of erosion or because of accreting sediments burying data. The southern sides of the islands presented the main archaeological material. Further work to come.
