Stray archaeological finds are expected to be encountered during work offshore despite intensive investigation prior to the start of development. The Protocol provides a framework to study and record these discoveries, which may range from wrecks undetected by geophysical survey to stray artefacts lost to the seabed or peat deposits sampled during pre-consenting surveys.Fri, 08 Nov 2013 10:22:34 GMThttp://www.scribd.com/doc/182574327/Renewing-The-Past-Newsletter-6http://www.scribd.com/doc/182563820/Dredged-Up-from-the-Past-Issue-13-Archaeology-Finds-Reporting-Service-NewsletterDredged Up is back for issue 13.

The mitigation of impacts for the Princes Channel Wreck site is being approached in a series of phases. Phase I relates to remedial recording of timbers, sections of recovered hull (pieces 1 and 2) structure and artefacts recovered in 2003. Phase II relates to a programme of scientific dating, geophysical survey and diving inspection undertaken in 2004. Phase III began with the development of a Project Design which was submitted to the English Heritage Maritime Team by the PLA in July 2004. EH approval for the Project Design was received in early August 2004.Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:54:42 GMThttp://www.scribd.com/doc/162466485/Princes-Channel-Wreck-Phase-iiihttp://www.scribd.com/doc/162188926/Time-Team-KenfigWessex Archaeology was commissioned by Videotext Communications Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological recording and post-excavation work on an archaeological evaluation undertaken by Channel 4’s ‘Time Team’ at the site of Kenfig, Bridgend, south Wales (NGR 280028, 182542). The site of Kenfig was the location of a medieval castle and a town, founded in the 12th century and abandoned by the 16th century due to the encroachment of sand dunes. This evaluation included the excavation of a section across the bank of the medieval town defences and the upper part of the associated ditch, identifying a series of phases of construction. Trial trenching and geophysical survey located two roads within the defended settlement, apparently converging on the castle. Lining these routes appeared to be a series of buildings.

This consisted of Area 1, the site of the Beach Car Park (adjacent to the Flora Tea Rooms) (NGR 647894 270702), and Area 2, Greyfriars (NGR 647772 270366). Two trenches and a testpit were excavated in Area 1, thought to be the approximate location of the Hospital of the Holy Trinity, also known as the Maison Dieu (SMN SF142). Although no medieval structures were located, the presence of medieval pottery, window glass and stone mouldings suggested the proximity of high status, probably ecclesiastical medieval buildings.

The programme of works investigated the Priory layout and the remains of the post-Dissolution house constructed on Site. The geophysical survey by GSB Prospection (which expanded upon earlier work by Tim Dennis, University of Essex) revealed the layout of the Priory, including the Priory church, and the domestic structures centred on a southern cloister, and also showed the location of the post-Dissolution mansion which was demolished c. 1820.

This evaluation clearly identified a fortified, stone-built square structure on the top of the hill, surrounded by defensive ditches circling the summit. However, despite evidence that this was originally a substantial structure, relatively little stonework remained, indicating that the building was likely to have been systematically deconstructed and the re-usable stone removed from the Site. The majority of the finds support the idea that this fortification was in use for only a short time during the early medieval period.

Watery Bay Rath, a coastal promontory fort, is centred on NGR 176877, 207966 and Gateholm Island on NGR 177005, 207215. Both areas subject to investigation are designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest as part of the Dale and South Marloes SSSI. No archaeological work has previously taken place on Watery Bay Rath. In 1910, Gateholm was subject to a walk-over survey by T.C. Cantrill, who also excavated of one of the ‘huts’, and a further housesite was later excavated by T.C. Lethbridge and H.E. David in 1926. In 1971 a complete survey of the structural remains of Gateholm Island was undertaken.

Time Team were assisted by members of the local Bitterley Archaeological Team (BATS) and members of the community in the excavation of test pits to investigate the origins of the village and the site of possible deserted medieval village (DMV) located some 700m to the east. According to tradition, the DMV was located next to the local Manor house (now the site of Bitterley Court) and the 12th century church of St. Mary.Fri, 16 Aug 2013 12:12:28 GMThttp://www.scribd.com/doc/160689421/Time-Team-Bitterley-Shropshirehttp://www.scribd.com/doc/160688275/Time-Team-King-John-s-Palace-ClipstoneWessex Archaeology was commissioned by Videotext Communications Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological recording and post-excavation work on an archaeological evaluation undertaken by Channel 4’s ‘Time Team’ at the site of King John’s Palace, Clipstone, Nottinghamshire (NGR 460344 364752). One Romano-British feature was identified; this, and some residual pottery and other finds indicate sporadic Romano-British activity on the Site.

In the 1970s, small-scale excavations revealed the remains of a poorly-preserved Romano-British villa in the field to the north of the Langton Brook. Anglo-Saxon artefacts, particularly metalwork, have also been found in the area, providing evidence for a possible settlement and cemetery located to the south, on the hilltop above the villa.Fri, 16 Aug 2013 10:06:59 GMThttp://www.scribd.com/doc/160673557/Time-Team-West-Langtonhttp://www.scribd.com/doc/160671908/Time-Team-Derwentcote-ForgeIn July 2010 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Channel 4’s ‘Time Team’ at the site of Derwentcote Forge (NGR 41306 55653), the site of one of the best examples of how the ferrous metal industry evolved in Britain during the Industrial Revolution and now a Scheduled Monument. Although excavations have been carried out within and around the cementation furnace, little work beyond an earthwork survey has been undertaken in the area thought to be the forge.

Existing data and previous investigations, notably geophysical surveys undertaken by Clydeport, were studied and their results incorporated with the results of a diving investigation undertaken between 1st and 5th March 2009. The Iona I was built by J. & G. Thomson on the Clyde in 1855. After achieving considerable fame as a fast and well-appointed passenger steamer operating in the Firth of Clyde from Glasgow for David Hutcheson & Company, the vessel was bought by a businessman, probably Mr D. McNutt, to run goods to the Confederate States through the Union naval blockade during the American Civil War. After having been converted for this purpose, and whilst leaving the Clyde on the start of its first transatlantic crossing, the Iona I was involved in a collision with another vessel and sank.

WA Coastal & Marine were asked to liaise with the discoverer of the site, Ewen Mackay, and to conduct a photographic, acoustic and measured survey of the site to confirm the nature and extent of recovered and in situ artefacts reported by local divers to Historic Scotland. Fieldwork was conducted at the site between the 18th and 21st of September 2012. Conditions were found to be ideal for diver survey. Initial survey of the site recorded three concreted iron cannons lying close together approximately 35 m from the MLWS mark. It was subsequently established that the cannon lay on top of a preserved section of hull of around 10.65m length which was lightly covered by mobile sand. Discussions with the local diver revealed that there were two ‘arrow’-shaped anchors possibly associated with the site. One of these had lain beside the cannons but had been moved by the local divers to facilitate metal-detecting. Its current location is on the seabed 350m away from its original position on the seabed. This anchor was surveyed by divers. A second anchor was reported approximately 200 m to the north-east of the main site. No survey was made of this anchor in order to focus resources on the main site but it is described as being similar to the first anchor.

At present, very few boats and ships are offered statutory protection in England in comparison to the large numbers of known and dated wrecks and even greater numbers of recorded losses of boats and ships in English waters. This project is part of a national programme of planned designation to ensure that current or future threats are addressed through the full weight of statutory protection in relation to the National Heritage Protection Plan. Data was acquired from primary and secondary sources, audited and entered into a Microsoft Access database linked to ESRI ArcGIS 9.3 mapping software. The data was assessed and characterised within the project database and selected records were enhanced. The dataset was considered alongside the non-statutory criteria for designation and the English Heritage wreck selection guide to identify sites for selective investigation. The final Early Boats and Ship database comprises 384 records of pre-1840 vessels including 47 designated wrecks, 133 records of undesignated wrecks, six boat burials, 28 historic vessels, 132 logboats and 38 findspots of craft or timbers. Following assessment, 88 of these were identified as candidates for selective investigation.Tue, 12 Mar 2013 10:23:43 GMThttp://www.scribd.com/doc/129914659/Early-Ships-And-Boatshttp://www.scribd.com/doc/129094305/Sicar-Rock-Dunbar-East-LotianWA Coastal & Marine was commissioned by Historic Scotland to undertake an Undesignated Site Assessment of the reported findspot of a number of pierced stone artefacts on the seabed off Dunbar Harbour in East Lothian. The site was first discovered by local divers in 1998. A total of six partial or complete pierced stones together with a metal fragment and a possibly natural stone fragment have been recovered by local divers. Local divers also report that at least one of the stones remains in situ. WA Coastal & Marine undertook a three-phase investigation of the site. The first of these was a programme of baseline data gathering followed by a dive survey and a final phase of data analysis. The baseline research carried out for the project has helped to enhance our knowledge of this challenging site. The previously recovered stones are currently either in the East Lothian Museums Service collection in Haddington or in the Dunbar Town House Museum in Dunbar. Four of those in Haddington were made available by the museum staff and were resurveyed using photogrammetry. WA Coastal & Marine were also asked by Historic Scotland to undertake a programme of liaison with the members of BSAC21, the sub-aqua club that had discovered and investigated the site. This helped to establish as far as practical the location and nature of the remaining material on the seabed. The BSAC21 members generously provided a large quantity of background material including sketch plans and elevations of the site as well as depth profiles and correspondence relating to the discovery and publication of the artefacts. It had been several years since the main investigations of the site by the club but fortunately BSAC21 carried out a dive at the site several weeks in advance of the WA Coastal & Marine survey and confirmed that at least one of the anchors was still present.

Despite this level of scrutiny and assessment, it was recognised that artefacts are still likely to be present in dredged loads. In August 2005 Wessex Archaeology (WA) drafted a reporting protocol, on behalf of English Heritage (EH) and the British Marine Aggregate Producers Association (BMAPA), to protect these finds and the sites of archaeological importance that they may signify. In 2009 The Crown Estate (TCE) joined BMAPA as a funding partner, recognising the Protocol's role as an efficient and effective mitigation option to preserve our heritage.

Which revealed evidence of prehistoric, Romano-British and medieval activity on a terrace overlooking the River Slea, a tributary of the River Wey. The site, which lies less than 1km south of the Romano-British pottery production centre at Alice Holt Forest, was subject to a programme of archaeological works as a condition of Hampshire County Council (HCC) granting planning permission for sand extraction.

Mesolithic and Neolithic activity is attested by a small flint assemblage. A concentration of Bronze Age pits provides the first evidence for permanent occupation and an associated burnt tree-throw hole may suggest that tree clearance was being undertaken. Late Iron Age activity centred on two large ditched enclosures and an associated activity area, together with drainage, boundary and trackway ditches. Early medieval occupation focused on an area to the north of the existing farmhouse.

We have seen a slight drop over the last two years of finds being reported through the Protocol. This may be due to any number of factors, such as less dredging taking place or dredging targeting deeper sediments, the surface layers having already been dredged. Whatever the cause, it is especially important that you keep reporting discoveries so that we can build a better picture of our submerged heritage, and demonstrate the industry’s commitment to dealing with our cultural heritage.Fri, 19 Oct 2012 07:57:48 GMThttp://www.scribd.com/doc/110508885/Dredged-Up-From-the-Past-Issue-11-Archaeology-Finds-Reporting-Service-Newsletterhttp://www.scribd.com/doc/109817092/South-Place-Islington-65993Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by FREP (South Place) Limited to carry out a programme of archaeological work in advance of the proposed redevelopment of 3– 4 South Place, Islington (NGR 532863 181754; MoL site code SOX10).

During offshore development in the renewable energy industry there is a high likelihood of uncovering or encountering unexpected archaeological remains. Activities associated with renewable energy such as: placement of turbines, cable-laying, geophysical surveys and seabed sampling all have the potential to impact on the historic environment.

This review continues the story up until March 2012, and considers both development-driven and curiosity-driven research. Much of the work, regardless of its origination or operational context has contributed towards the furtherance of 20 out of 25 research objectives articulated in RF1. This is a remarkable achievement within a period of just six years or so, and in part illustrates the continuing attraction of Stonehenge and its landscape as a key resource for the investigation, illustration, and understanding of British prehistory and its wider European context. It also illustrates the value of using the WHS as a laboratory for the innovation, testing, and validation of new methods and techniques that even when applied to familiar archaeological landscapes provide new discoveries and new insights of real significance.Fri, 06 Jul 2012 12:21:03 GMThttp://www.scribd.com/doc/99317521/45-Stonehenge-Resource-Assessment-Update-Tim-Darvillhttp://www.scribd.com/doc/99317357/44-Workshop-ideas-for-the-new-research-agenda-June-2012As defined by Darvill (2205, 4) a research agenda is essentially a list of perceived gaps in current knowledge, work which could usefully be done, linked to explicit potential for the resource to answer the questions posed. In essence, the agenda is a statement of the main identifiable issues and priorities for systematic incremental investigation over the next few years, and a ‘wish-list’ of desired knowledge based on the current state of knowledge as expressed within the accompanying resource assessment.Fri, 06 Jul 2012 12:18:50 GMThttp://www.scribd.com/doc/99317357/44-Workshop-ideas-for-the-new-research-agenda-June-2012http://www.scribd.com/doc/99204980/43-Appendix-7-Mesolithic-SitesThe Stonehenge and Avebury Revised Research Framework (SARRF) will for the first time provide a united historic environment research agenda and strategy for the Avebury and Stonehenge World Heritage Site (WHS).

The list of targets were provided by Historic Scotland, ordered by priority, based on the importance of the wreck and the lack of prior survey at each site. Scapa Flow is a large natural harbour in the southern part of the Orkney Islands in the North of Scotland, which served as Britain’s main naval base during WWI and WWII. Its waters hold Scotland’s highest concentrations of shipwrecks. Although some of the wrecks in Scapa Flow have previously been the subject of highresolution multibeam surveys there remain a number of important sites which had only previously been covered by low-resolution data acquisition or not covered at all. WA Coastal & Marine conducted an archaeological assessment of the multibeam data and a Desk-Based Assessment (DBA) of the wreck sites it covered in order to enhance the historic environment record with respect to these sites and to support Historic Scotland’s work on the Scottish Marine Protected Areas Project.Tue, 19 Jun 2012 09:03:24 GMThttp://www.scribd.com/doc/97523266/Scapa-Flow-Wreck-Surveyshttp://www.scribd.com/doc/97190689/The-Crown-Estate-Operational-Guide-6-Onshore-workThis Operational Guide is intended to help those involved in onshore work to meet the requirements of The Crown Estate’s Offshore Renewables Protocol for Archaeological Discoveries (ORPAD).

The evaluation was carried out in September 2009. Cunetio is a Scheduled Monument (AM666) of national importance. Aerial photographs and early geophysical survey, coupled with very limited excavation, have established the ground plan of the town but almost nothing is known of its significance and changing form during the Roman period. The project aimed to carry out a limited programme of non-intrusive investigations and evaluation trenching over three days. Fieldwork consisted of seven machine-excavated trial trenches, geophysical and topographic surveys. The high quality and substantial nature of Building 1 in the north-west corner of the town was confirmed but little additional dating evidence was recovered. This structure is likely to have consisted of more than a single storey, with a stylish, fully Romanised interior. The remains of Building 8, the possible mansio, survived less well. No firm evidence for the date of its construction was found but there was some evidence to suggest that it was during the early Roman period. This building was probably roofed in stone, again with a Romanised interior.Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:15:17 GMThttp://www.scribd.com/doc/96287105/Time-Team-Cunetio-Roman-Town-Wiltshirehttp://www.scribd.com/doc/87820594/Dredged-Up-from-the-Past-%E2%80%93-Issue-10-%E2%80%93-Archaeological-Finds-Reporting-Service-NewsletterWelcome to Issue 10 of Dredged Up, the popular newsletter of the BMAPA/TCE/EH Protocol Implementation Service.
