Marine Aggregate Dredging and the Historic Environment: Guidance Note

BMAPA and English Heritage collaborated in the preparation of a Guidance Note on Marine Aggregate Dredging and the Historic Environment, which was published in April 2003. The Guidance Note aims to provide practical guidelines on assessing, evaluating, mitigating and monitoring archaeological impacts of marine aggregate dredging in English marine waters. The guidance is targeted at marine aggregate developers, archaeological consultants, curators and contractors, and at regulators.

Marine Aggregate Dredging and the Historic Environment

In 2002 Francis Wenban-Smith produced a report looking at Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Archaeology on the Seabed which was the precursor to the guidance note. The report consists of a review of the potential for Palaeolithic and Mesolithic archaeological remains in seabed sediments suitable for use as aggregates. In addition a series of characterisation maps were produced. The maps and the report can be downloaded below.
