This project will maximise the value of earlier ALSF investment
in data acquisition by carrying out archaeological interpretation
of geophysical datasets acquired by the BGS-led team for the
Eastern English Channel Marine Habitat Mapping project (EECMHM -
MEPF 04/01). The project will address the evidence for prehistoric
landsurfaces and deposits (using sub-bottom and multibeam data
sets) and wrecks of ships and aircraft (sidescan and
multibeam).
The archaeological interpretation will bring the EECMHM datasets
to the same level of multiple-usage being achieved for the South
Coast and East Coast RECs. This levelling-up will also enable the
EECMHM data to be fully integrated with the South Coast REC data,
enabling the overarching synthesis of MALSF results in the English
Channel as proposed by BGS.
