Metadata: Enhancing our Understanding: Mapping Navigational Hazards as areas of Maritime Archaeological Potential
Abstract:
The Navigational Hazards Project focused on the development of Areas of Maritime Archaeological Potential (AMAPs) by identifying areas where a high potential for ship losses coincided with a high potential for archaeological materials. The project was undertaken by staff from Bournemouth University and was funded by the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund as disbursed by English Heritage The project focuses on identifying areas, described and depicted in historical sources, where ship losses are more likely due primarily to environmental navigational hazards. The presence of archaeological material on the seabed is also dependent on the nature of the maritime environment and its potential for preserving materials in situ. An approach is therefore being developed to categorise seabed sediment types by their preservation qualities in order to identify areas where the two coincide. The results are displayed as character areas where recurring types of hazardous environment coincide with a high potential for preservation, using a Geographic Information System (GIS). The project sets out to improve our understanding of the maritime cultural landscape and our ability to interpret the potential for the presence of unrecorded maritime archaeology on the seabed.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 828 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Enhancing our Understanding: Mapping Navigational Hazards as areas of Maritime Archaeological Potential |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 344de08be8af3e5b8bd4b132c8543cd6 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | COLL_ID_1000743 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2007-05-15 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2007-05-15 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | continual |
