Description
Following a rapid walkover survey of the Suffolk coast and inter-tidal estuaries, nine of the sites recorded were identified as potentially archaeologically significant. These were subject to further work, not only to better understand them as individual sites, but also to be able to provide a strong curatorial response to coastal planning as it impacts on the historic environment. All sites were visited at a suitable low tide to ensure that surviving structures were fully exposed and visible for as long as possible to allow adequate time for recording. Each feature was planned in its entirety where possible.Two samples per phase from each timber structure and were sent for assessment. No surviving timbers were suitable for dendrochronology.
All sites were visited at a suitable low tide to ensure that surviving structures were fully exposed and visible for as long as possible, to allow adequate time for recording. Each was surveyed using a total station theodolite (TST) to record existing features 3- dimensionally, with each feature planned in its entirety where possible. Where more detail was necessary, and it was practical to do so, areas of interest were planned by hand at a scale of 1:10 or 1:20. Two samples per phase from each timber structure were collected and sent for assessment (S1).
