Abstract: |
This Method Statement outlines the specific requirements for achieving archaeological objectives described in the Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) (Wessex Archaeology 2015a), to be undertaken as part of the Queen Elizabeth Class (QEC) Capital Dredge Project at Her Majesty’s Naval Base (HMNB) Portsmouth. This Method Statement covers the On-board Finds Reporting Protocol (hereafter the ‘Protocol’) and the Quay Side Archaeological Monitoring and fulfils two of the conditions from the MMO Consent Decision document (MLA/2012/00474).
Previous archaeological work encompassing areas covered by the QEC Project has included: an archaeological desk-based assessment (Wessex Archaeology 2003); an archaeological assessment of geophysical data (Wessex Archaeology 2004a), assessment of archaeological potential (Wessex Archaeology 2004b and Maritime Archaeology Ltd. 2006); an Environmental Impact Assessment for HMNB Portsmouth (Maritime Archaeology Ltd. 2007a) and a Scoping Report (RHDHV 2012b).
Ongoing archaeological work includes the geoarchaeological assessment. The Stage 1 geoarchaeological assessment of geotechnical logs and preliminary recording of geotechnical samples has recently been completed by Wessex Archaeology (2015b). The report includes recommendations for further archaeological assessment including Stage 2 geoarchaeological recording of a number of samples, and sets out a detailed methodology.
