Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Boskalis Westminster Limited (BWL), the dredging contractor, on behalf of the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) to undertake quayside archaeological monitoring and administer an on-board finds reporting protocol (hereafter the ‘Protocol’) undertaken as part of the Queen Elizabeth Class (QEC) Capital Dredge Project at Her Majesty’s Naval Base (HMNB) Portsmouth. This fulfils two of the conditions from the MMO Consent Decision document (MLA/2012/00474).
Works were undertaken in line with the Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) (Wessex Archaeology 2015a) and the Method Statement for On-board Finds Reporting Protocol and Quay Side Archaeological Monitoring (Wessex Archaeology 2015b). The Protocol set out a framework to facilitate the reporting of finds of archaeological interest that were discovered during clearance operations and dredging works. The purpose of this assessment is to present a compilation of all the discoveries made during the capital dredging works associated with the finds reporting protocol and quayside archaeological monitoring for the project. The finds are discussed by material type and include a general discussion as to their identification, archaeological and historical significance, and current state of conservation. This report is a finds assessment. Further discussion about finds analysis, conservation, storage, discard, deposition/acquisition or publication will be dealt with separately in a post-excavation assessment, in line with CIfA guidelines (CIfA 2014a and b). |
