The specific aim of this project was to provide industry, regulators and contractors with guidance on the archaeological assessment, evaluation and recording of wreck sites. \u2018Assessment, evaluation and recording\u2019 are taken to include various methods of archaeological investigation that are intended to improve the understanding, preservation and appreciation of the historic environment. Geophysical surveys were conducted over four wreck site areas. This archive relates to the geophysical survey over Hastings Shingle Bank covering the area of the wreck Thomas Lawrence. During the geophysics survey sidescan sonar, single beam echosounder, multibeam echosounder and magnetometer data were acquired. Sidescan sonar, magnetometer and single beam bathymetric surveys were conducted over the Hastings Shingle Bank by Titan Surveys Ltd., aboard the survey vessel Titan Explorer, under supervision from WA staff. These surveys was conducted intermittently during 15 survey days over 47 days between the 17th February \u2013 5th April 2005 with substantial delays due to adverse weather conditions. The geology and geophysics component of the data are archived at British Geological Survey (BGS) MEDIN Data Archive Centre (DAC) for Geology and Geophysics. Data were also provided to other archive centres as appropriate.", "includedInDataCatalog": { "@id": "http://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/json-ld/catalog.jsonld" }, "conditionsOfAccess": [ "unrestricted use, copyright acknowledgement - Available under the Open Government Licence subject to the following acknowledgement accompanying the reproduced Wessex Archaeology materials \"Contains Wessex Archaeology materials \u00a9Wessex Archaeology [year]\"" ], "distribution": [ { "@type": "DataDownload", "name": "BGS Offshore Geoindex", "contentUrl": "http://mapapps2.bgs.ac.uk/geoindex_offshore/home.html?cruise=WESSEX2A" } ], "temporalCoverage": "2005-02-17", "keywords": [ { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/N01/current/NDGO0001/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/N01/current/", "termCode": "NDGO0001", "name": "NDGO0001" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/theme/ge", "name": "Geology" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L13/current/SD/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L13/current/", "termCode": "SD", "name": "soil and sediment" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L13/current/CR/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L13/current/", "termCode": "CR", "name": "crust" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/MBAN/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "MBAN", "name": "Bathymetry and Elevation" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/MMAN/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "MMAN", "name": "Magnetics" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/SSCN/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "SSCN", "name": "Side-scan sonar" } ], "spatialCoverage": { "@type": "Place", "geo": { "@type": "GeoShape", "box": "50.6977 0.5315 50.7516 0.6344" }, "name": { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/C19/current/1_7_1/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/C19/current/", "termCode": "1_7_1", "name": "DOVER STRAIT" }, "additionalProperty": [ { "@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84", "value": "urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG:4326" } ] }, "maintainer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "British Geological Survey (BGS)", "description": "custodian", "email": "enquiries@bgs.ac.uk", "telephone": "+44 (0)131 667 1000", "faxNumber": "+44 (0)131 668 4140", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "The Lyell Centre, Research Avenue South", "postalCode": "EH14 4AP", "addressLocality": "Edinburgh", "addressCountry": "UK" } } ], "producer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Wessex Archaeology", "description": "originator", "email": "offshoredata@bgs.ac.uk", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "publisher": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "British Geological Survey (BGS)", "description": "pointOfContact", "email": "enquiries@bgs.ac.uk", "telephone": "+44 (0)131 667 1000", "faxNumber": "+44 (0)131 668 4140", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "The Lyell Centre, Research Avenue South", "postalCode": "EH14 4AP", "addressLocality": "Edinburgh", "addressCountry": "UK" } } ], "provider": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "British Geological Survey (BGS)", "description": "distributor", "email": "enquiries@bgs.ac.uk", "telephone": "+44 (0)131 667 1000", "faxNumber": "+44 (0)131 668 4140", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "The Lyell Centre, Research Avenue South", "postalCode": "EH14 4AP", "addressLocality": "Edinburgh", "addressCountry": "UK" } } ], "creator": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Wessex Archaeology", "description": "originator", "email": "offshoredata@bgs.ac.uk", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "sdPublisher": { "@type": "Organization", "url": "https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/", "name": "Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN)", "description": "The MEDIN portal contains information about 19493 marine datasets from over 600 UK organisations.
