Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Lafarge Tarmac Marine Limited and Hanson Aggregates Marine Limited to conduct an archaeological assessment of 40 geophysical anomalies identified by Titan Environmental Surveys Limited within the proposed new licence boundary for existing Licence Area 127 and a 150m buffer of the area.Sidescan sonar and multibeam bathymetry data were assessed at the 40 anomaly positions and an archaeological interpretation of each feature added to the list of features provided by Titan Environmental Surveys Limited. Sidescan sonar and multibeam bathymetry data were assessed at the 40 anomaly positions and an archaeological interpretation of each feature added to the list of features provided by Titan Environmental Surveys Limited. A total of 38 of the 40 anomalies were identified by Wessex Archaeology with two not seen. The majority of the anomalies were interpreted as being natural in origin. Seven anomalies were interpreted as being possibly of archaeological interest and are possible items of debris. A single anomaly, S12, is clearly of archaeological interest as it is the wreck of the Venezuela.In terms of mitigation, a single Archaeological Exclusion Zone is proposed comprising a buffer of 50m around the extent of the wreck of the Venezuela. Finds of known or possible archaeological interest recovered through dredging operations should be reported through the Marine Aggregate Industry Protocol for Reporting Finds of Archaeological interest. |
