Metadata: Fishbourne Ferry Terminal, Isle of Wight
Abstract:
A series of seven cores was taken under geaoarchaeological supervision on the foreshore at the Fishbourne Ferry Terminal to understand the survival, character, and potential significance of the Quaternary deposit sequence that will be impacted by the proposed ferry terminal improvement work. The results confirmed that the area has largely been stripped of Holocene deposits by tidal action, exacerbated by wash created by marine traffic, leaving just beach deposits overlying the Oligocene Bedrock clay. This has removed the capping of peat which marks the end of a 'relative' drying phase/retrogression during the late Neolithic and Bronze Age prior to the later prehistoric final large incursion. Palaeo-environmental assessment of the Pollen, Diatoms and Foraminiferal/Ostracod in samples from Borehole 4 indicate a local estuarine environment which is clearly an intertidal mud, comparable with other coastal situations on the Isle of Wight. The palaeo-environmental evidence indicates probably prehistoric brackish and marine environments with fen carr in the immediate hinterland, and freshwater flowing from this, or other streams locally, into the sampled location, of probable Neolithic date.

| 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. | Fishbourne Ferry Terminal, Isle of Wight |
| 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. | be1ee5df-7d28-3609-a69b-2afda6b9a200 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | chrisbut1-282574 |
| 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 | 2016-09-26 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2016-09-26 |
| 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 |
