title: Newport Medieval Ship

description: The main aims of the Newport Medieval Ship Project are to document, analyse and describe this 15th-century vessel, and its associated artefacts and environmental finds. This archive comprises data gathered on site and during the post-excavation analysis phase. Digital documentation techniques, including contact digitising, laser scanning, digital photography and digital solid modelling have been utilised in order to create a detailed, accurate and versatile data set that lends itself to digital archiving and dissemination. The archive contains primary site records including scans of hand-drawn which have subsequently been digitised, scanned pro-forma records, and scans of pre-digital excavation photographs. During the post-excavation research phase, the hull timbers and artefacts were cleaned, recorded and analysed. The resulting records (timber drawings, solid models, and digital photographs) were used to create digital and physical models of selected hull timbers. Scaled models were then created and used to determine the original hull form of the medieval ship. The innovative use of digital recording and modelling has been held up as an example of best practice for similar nautical archaeology documentation projects throughout Europe. The archive also contains an extensive series of specialist reports, classified by function/artefact group or material type. These reports contain detailed analysis and, where appropriate, a catalogue. Many of the above-mentioned records contain information that has been entered in the comprehensive project database.

title: Multibeam Sonar Data from the CCGS Amundsen for the Greenland Exclusive Economic zone

description: Datasets were collected and processed by the Ocean Mapping Group, University of New Brunswick. Accoustic data was generated from the multibeam Kongsberg Simrad EM302 multibeam sonar system onboard the CCGS Amundsen during ArcticNet Cruises. This bathymetric data subset covers the Greenland Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ), i.e. outside of the 12 nm territorial sea extent and within the 200 nm EZZ, from 2005 to 2011 and 2013. The datasets consist of high-resolution bathymetry and acoustic backscatter imagery collected 24 hours a day, whenever the ship was in transit or had dedicated survey time. Standard collection settings used dual-ping, FM pulse, auto depth mode, angular coverage of +/- 60 degrees and high-density equidistant beamforming. SIS was used to collect the data, while near realtime cleaning of data outliers was done using the Ocean Mapping Group's Swathed toolkit after conversion to OMG binary format. IMU data was parsed by the SIS software from a POSMv 320 v.4. RTG GPS data from the CNav GPS was used to correct and improve the position output from the POSMv. Soundspeed information was either from CTD Rosette casts, MVP300 data or simulated from the World Ocean Atlas 2001 database. Data were gridded at a resolution of 10 metres. Grid files available are in ESRI grid format (.flt and .hdr files zipped for each mapsheet for the data from 2005 to 2011, and .asc files for the data of 2013). Futher information on data processing and on the Ocean Mapping Group activities are online at http://www.omg.unb.ca/Projects/Arctic/
description: Purpose: This bathymetric data collection is part of the core seabed-mapping project within the ArcticNet research program. In this project, underway acoustic mapping of the seabed relief, sediment distribution and shallow subsurface sediments are the prime datasets used by researchers to understand the geological processes shaping the seafloor, to assess natural hazards and coastal habitats and to reconstruct the history of past climatic changes.

title: Pitcarmick Excavations 1993-5

description: The Pitcarmick project arose from the publication of the Royal Commission survey for North East Perth (1990), which revealed and mapped settlement sequences likely to have extended back from the 18th century into prehistoric times. One element noted on the maps was a type of long house with rounded corners that was tentatively attributed to the Early Historic or Pictish period. These became known in the literature as Pitcarmick-type houses. A notable sequence of buildings, round, long and rectangular was seen on high ground to the west of Strathardle, in the area designated as Pitcarmick North or Site 154-4B. Following an initiative from the Department of Archaeology at Glasgow University, the area was investigated on the ground by John Barrett (of Glasgow, now Sheffield university) and Jane Downes (of Sheffield University and now UHI). Between 1993 and 1995, the project team excavated five sample areas and carried out topographic, phosphate and magnetometer surveys. The excavations defined a round-house dated to the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age, three points of settlement with hearths and structures in the Early Historic period, and a clearance cairn and lynchet, probably of the post-medieval period. As a result of discussions with the principal investigators in 2009, Martin Carver was invited by Historic Scotland to help publish the results of this campaign.

description: The ontogeny of continent-wide navigation mechanisms of the individual organism, despite being crucial for the understanding of animal movement and migration, is still poorly understood. Several previous studies, mainly conducted on passerines, indicate that inexperienced, juvenile birds may not generally correct for displacement during fall migration. Waterbirds such as the mallard (Anas platyrhynchos, Linnaeus 1758) are more flexible in their migration behavior than most migratory songbirds, but previous experiments with waterbirds have not yet allowed clear conclusions about their navigation abilities. Here we tested whether immature mallard ducks correct for latitudinal displacement during fall migration within Europe. During two consecutive fall migration periods, we caught immature females on a stopover site in southeast Sweden, and translocated a group of them ca. 1,000 km to southern Germany. We followed the movements of the ducks via satellite GPS-tracking and observed their migration decisions during the fall and consecutive spring migration. The control animals released in Ottenby behaved as expected from banding recoveries: they continued migration during the winter and in spring returned to the population’s breeding grounds in the Baltics and Northwest Russia. Contrary to the control animals, the translocated mallards did not continue migration and stayed at Lake Constance. In spring, three types of movement tactics could be observed: 61.5% of the ducks (16 of 26) stayed around Lake Constance, 27% (7 of 26) migrated in a northerly direction towards Sweden and 11.5% of the individuals (3 of 26) headed east for ca. 1,000 km and then north. We suggest that young female mallards flexibly adjust their migration tactics and develop a navigational map that allows them to return to their natal breeding area.

title: South Gloucestershire Aggregate Resource Assessment

description: An Archaeological Resource Assessment of the Aggregates Producing Areas of South Gloucestershire was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in 2009 and 2010. The project was funded by English Heritage, through the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF). It is one of a number of similar projects summarizing the aggregate resource of counties, including Wiltshire and Swindon, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Warwickshire. The project mapped the potential aggregate producing areas of the county. The resource comprises: Carboniferous Limestones and Quartzitic Sandstone forming the Carboniferous Limestone Supergroup, which outcrops in the Unitary District (UD) at the northern edge of the Bristol Coalfield; River Terrace deposits; Alluvial deposits potentially masking River Terrace deposits; and sand deposits of the River Severn. The potential aggregates resource of the UD was divided into two Aggregate Character Areas (ACAs): the Land Based ACA, comprising the Carboniferous Limestone Supergroup along with River Terrace and Alluvial deposits; and the Severn ACA, comprising the area south of the First Severn Crossing, below Low Mean Tide.

title: Haltwhistle War Memorial Hospital Archaeological Building Recording (OASIS ID gbbuildi1-129159)

description: A planning application has been submitted for the demolition of the existing war memorial hospital and associated buildings owing to the construction of an integrated health and social care facility, Haltwhistle War Memorial Hospital, Westgate, Haltwhistle, Northumberland utilises Greencroft House, a building of uncertain date which was remodelled at the start of the 19th century and subsequently converted into a hospital in the 1920s. The building was subsequently extended and further adapted with the most notable extension comprising the maternity wing constructed in 1939. The stable block to the rear of the property is contemporary with the original domestic building. A programme of building recording has carried out to English Heritage standards, following the guidelines issued by that body in 2006.

title: Extensive Urban Survey - Cheshire

description: The Historic Environment Team of Cheshire County Council, in partnership with English Heritage, carried out a survey of the archaeological potential and historic development of 37 historic towns of Cheshire, Halton and Warrington. The survey was divided into three phases - data gathering, assessment and strategy. During data gathering a wide range of sources was examined, collated and entered on to the Cheshire Historic Environment Record Database. This data was assessed and used to write a component based summary of the history and archaeology of each town. Finally a strategy for the protection of the historic features of each town was devised, identifying, where possible, an Area of Archaeological Potential based on the assessment. The strategy reports are intended to act as Supplementary Planning Document to the archaeological policies in the Local Development Framework. They include a defined Area of Archaeological Potential consisting of one or more Archaeological Character Zones. The archive consists of 73 reports divided into three sections: District Introductions; Assessment Reports and Strategy Reports.

title: Oxford Archaeological Plan

description: The Oxford Archaeological Plan (OAP) is project that brings together two separate English Heritage funded initiatives: The Urban Archaeological Strategy (UAS) project and the Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) project. Both these projects are intended to help local authorities develop the available evidence base for the historic environment to support informed management. The UAS component of the OAP comprises a series of 9 period based archaeological resource assessments for the Oxford Local Authority Area (LAA) and accompanying 9 period based archaeological research agendas. The HLC component of the OAP comprises digital mapping of HLC data for the Oxford LAA and more detailed Historic Urban Characterisation data for the post-medieval and earlier core of Oxford. Furthermore a series of 44 historic urban character assessments have been produced for district character areas within the historic core. The results of the OAP have been summarised in an Archaeological Action Plan for the city. An additional element to the OAP project not related to the UAS or HLC projects has been the production of 40 summary statements of archaeological interest for selected monuments in the city, to address the absence of historic Monument Protection Plan dataset for these monuments.

title: Exford Drive (Southampton Regeneration), Harefield, Southampton: An Archaeological Evaluation Report (OASIS ID aocarcha1-138343)

description: An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on behalf of Lovell Partnership Ltd between 4th July and 23rd November 2012 at the site of Exfiord Drive, Harefield, Southampton. The archaeological investigation consisted of 15 evaluation trenches. The only feature of archaeological interest identified was a shallow undated gully. The general results of the evaluation indicate the site has experienced significant levels of horizontal truncation probably associated with the construction of the modern housing estate present on site. The survival of previously existing deposits is limited to isolated locations on the periphery of the site. Therefore the potential for features of archaeological interest to be present on site is negligible. Based on the negligible potential for archaeological features it is recommended that no further archaeological fieldwork be undertaken. The final decision in regards to the requirement for further archaeological fieldwork lies with Stephen Appleby, Archaeology Advisor to Southampton City Council.

title: Laxton Close (Southampton Regeneration), Sholing, Southampton: An Archaeological Evaluation Report (OASIS ID aocarcha1-130357).

description: An archaeological investigation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on behalf of Lovell Partnership Ltd in July 2012 at the site of Laxton Close, Sholing, Southampton. The archaeological investigation consisted of an eight trench evaluation. During the course of the evaluation multiple undated ditch features and a single late post-medieval or modern posthole were encountered in the eastern area of the site, cut into the subsoil horizon. The subsoil overlay natural sandy clay gravel. These features are interpreted as being of low to moderate significance due their concentration, although the lack of dating evidence recovered from the ditches prevents greater significance being attributed to them. A phase of modern horizontal truncation was identified as having occurred in the northern area of the site. The results of the evaluation will be summarised for inclusion in the Hampshire Archaeology Round-up and published via the Archaeological Data Service (ADS) website. The archive will be deposited at Southampton Museums Service, Southampton.

title: Mayflower Plaza, Commercial Road, Southampton (aocarcha1-138220 and aocarcha1-122004)

description: A programme of archaeological evaluation was undertaken on a site formerly occupied by domestic and commercial properties along Commercial Road and West Park Road, in Southampton. The buildings that once occupied the site were demolished following bomb damage during the Second World War, and by general site clearance in the 1980s and 1990s. Much of the potential archaeological horizons of the site had been reworked through agriculture, horticulture, and the establishment of the properties on the site during the late 19th century, which comprised basements and significant concrete footings. Three archaeological features were recognised during the archaeological evaluation. One of these was a shallow gully running northwest-southeast, roughly oriented to the historic Conduit House. This was potentially the location for a medieval conduit that ran from springs on Hill Lane to the city. However, no conduit was present. In both locations seen, there was a 19th century intrusion, so if the conduit had been present, it may have been physically removed in the past. The second feature was an infilled ditch running roughly north-south, which may have been filled around 1600AD. This represents a field or property boundary. The third feature was a small curving trench that revealed medieval pottery, and is the scant remnant of a feature of medieval date, of uncertain function. Much of the 19th century activity on site was related to households and their associated drainage. Of note was one concrete-bound ceramic pipe, running downhill roughly southwards into a soakaway. This may be a storm drain from Commercial Road, or it may mark the location of the water supply from Conduit House, being simply diverted. The evaluation has revealed that the conduit, if originally present, has been removed, and the only other feature surviving to significant depth is the field boundary. However, the foundation design is likely to require terracing of the site to enable piling to be conducted from a series of level platforms. The already truncated medieval feature and part of the medieval boundary ditch will be impacted by these works. Therefore it is recommended that any further archaeological work in relation to the development should be limited to a low level watching brief.
