Metadata: 2011, Wessex Archaeology, Zone 9 - Celtic Array, Geoarchaeological Review (Met Masts)
Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by Centrica Energy Renewable Investments Limited (CERI) now Celtic Array, to undertake geoarchaeological recording and subsampling of borehole samples collected as part of the Round 3 Offshore Wind, Zone 9 Irish Sea, Meteorological Masts (Met Masts) geotechnical investigation. This work forms part of the programme of Zonal Assessment and Planning (ZAP) which was undertaken by CERI for the Round 3 Irish Sea Zone. Previous archaeological work for the region included a Phase 1 Archaeological Assessment/ Archaeological Desktop Review by Wessex Archaeology July 2010 and an Assessment of the Geophysical data from the Met Mast locations by Wessex Archaeology July 2010. This Stage 2 Geoarchaeological recording and subsampling was undertaken in April and the report summarises the assessment of data (Stage 1) from the four borehole locations and subsequent geoarchaeological recording and subsampling (Stage 2) of the borehole samples. Samples from four borehole locations (MM1, MM2, MM3 and MM4) in the Irish Sea Zone were subjected to Stage 2 geoarchaeological recording and subsampling. The four locations have been investigated as part of a programme of Zonal Assessment and Planning (ZAP) for the Irish Sea Zone. The results of the geoarchaeological recording indicate Pleistocene and Holocene glacial and marine sediments exist at all four locations and have confirmed the sedimentary units identified by geophysical survey at the four locations. 33 subsamples have been taken and are stored at Wessex Archaeology. These subsamples will be kept for potential future assessment dependent on the results of ongoing assessment of geophysical data from the area. No further Stage 3 work is recommended at this stage.

| 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. | 794616c1-509d-4982-b73d-0382d3a99e4d |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-2673 |
| 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 | 2011-04-05 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2011-10-31 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The Stage 1 review of the borehole logs and photographs (Fugro 2011), was undertaken during the geotechnical survey. Draft logs and photographs were reviewed at WA offices during April 2011. A record of Pleistocene sediments of potential interest was kept for Stage 2 Geoarchaeological recording. These Pleistocene sediments were identified within the cored sediments at all four borehole locations. Geoarchaeological recording and subsampling was undertaken at Fugro House, Wallingford on 5th April 2011 in conjunction with geological work undertaken by Steve Mulley of RPS. Where possible samples were chosen to be geoarchaeologically recorded in conjunction with those being worked on by RPS. Subsamples were taken only where necessary and from sediments where geotechnical tests were not scheduled, or only limited testing was scheduled. This was achieved in direct consultation with the laboratory manager at Fugro House, Wallingford as set out in the WSI (Wessex Archaeology 2011, ref.: T13161.03). |
