Metadata: Seabed Prehistory: Site Evaluation Techniques (Area 240) Palaeo-environmental Sampling
Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by English Heritage (EH), funded through the Marine Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund (MALSF) to conduct a project concerning the application of geophysical and geotechnical/seabed sampling methodologies to marine aggregate deposits that have been demonstrated to contain potential pre-Devensian or Devensian artefactual material. This stage of the project involved a palaeo-environmental sampling survey in which vibrocores were acquired at 10 specific locations within Area 240. These locations were selected to target locations that would elucidate the sedimentary sequence and depositional environments identified in Area 240, and, in particular, the sediments from which artefacts are thought to derive in this area. The selection targeted sediment units that would provide palaeo-environmental material allowing for the assessment, dating and reconstruction of the former landsurfaces within Area 240. The vibrocore survey took place between the 10th May and 13th May onboard the VOS Baltic. The survey was sub-contracted to Fugro Alluvial Offshore Ltd. as part of a joint coring program between Wessex Archaeology and University of Southampton National Oceanographic Centre. Two cores were acquired at each location, one in a clear liner for the purpose of geoarchaeological logging and one in an opaque liner for future OSL dating.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 1326 |
| 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. | Seabed Prehistory: Site Evaluation Techniques (Area 240) Palaeo-environmental Sampling |
| 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. | 574fda54-2fc2-3899-a8d8-580563703cd2 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | wessexar1-96188 |
| 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 | 2010-02-25 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-08-31 |
| 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'. | notPlanned |
