Wessex Archaeology undertook a geoarchaeological assessment of sediments retrieved during geotechnical investigations on the site of the Round 3 Hornsea Offshore Windfarm and Export Cable Route. This comprised the offshore monitoring recording of sediments at 12 borehole locations and the assessment of vibrocore logs and onshore recording of 27 vibrocore samples from the Export Cable Route. Pleistocene sediments including the Yarmouth Roads, Swarte Bank and Egmond Ground contain deposits which are thought to have been deposited during the Lower and Middle Palaeolithic archaeological periods. The Upper Botney Cut and Holocene alluvial sediments recorded are thought to relate to relate to glacial, lacustrine fluvial and estuarine environments spanning the Late Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic archaeological periods.
