Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Hanson Aggregates Marine Ltd to conduct an
archaeological assessment of sidescan sonar and multibeam bathymetry data acquired in 2012
over Licence Area 372/1 and the surrounding area. A total of 24 sites of archaeological potential
were identified with two located inside the Active Dredge Zone and and a further four located within
the licence area. A total of 24 sites of archaeological potential were identified with two located inside the Active Dredge Zone and and a further four located within the licence area.
A comparison of the WA identified anomalies to the 13 identified during the Year 4 monitoring
assessment in 2011 was also undertaken. Only three of the 2011 anomalies were seen and judged to be potentially archaeological in origin – EMU_2011_001, EMU_2011_002 and EMU_2011_007.
A single exclusion zone was implemented in the Year 4 monitoring assessment. This was a 30m radius exclusion zone around EMU_2011_003. The current 2012 assessment did not interpret this feature as archaeological in origin but the data quality was not good enough to allow the exclusion zone to be removed.
The remaining 23 sites of archaeological potential do not require exclusion zones but should be avoided during dredging operations. The implementation of the BMAPA Protocol for Reporting Finds of Archaeological Interest (BMAPA 2005) is already a condition of the Licence |
