Metadata: 2010, Wessex Archaeology, Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm, Stage 2 Geoarchaeological Recording of Borehole Samples
Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Centrica Renewable Energy Ltd. to undertake Stage 2 geoarchaeological recording on borehole samples recovered from the proposed Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm site. This Stage 2 recording follows on from recommendations made in the Stage 1 assessment report, and focuses on the potential for the preservation of archaeological and palaeoenvironmental material in the samples selected during the Stage 1 assessment. Of the previously established stratigraphic sequence, it was found that sediments from Units 1c and 1d (terrestrial peat, organic clay and silt) contain potentially well-preserved organic material suitable for palaeoenvironmental analysis, and that an eroded and re-deposited section of Unit 2 could also contain similar material. This report makes proposals for the Stage 3 geoarchaeological sub-sampling and assessment of 19 samples (51 sub-samples) taken from nine of the recorded samples from six cores, as Units 1c and 1d are deemed to be of possible archaeological and palaeoenvironmental importance.

All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2010, Wessex Archaeology, Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm, Stage 2 Geoarchaeological Recording of Borehole Samples |
| 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. | 01eafdcf-b4e2-4ef2-9e23-b4a6d0d5c12a |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 106940.04 |
| 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. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2026-04-19 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2026-04-19 |
| 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'. | unknown |
