Sample retrieval 130


Deep excavations resulting from the construction programme, and within identified areas of palaeoenvironmental potential (including the area of the foreshore/intertidal zone) may impact upon preserved organic deposits suitable for the study of past environments.Where such potential is identified, results of the preceding field assessment programme will be referenced in order to identify the most suitable stratigraphy from which to retrieve sufficient organic samples for palaeoenvironmental assessment.


131 132


It is anticipated that these samples would be retrieved using a window sampling methodology, in order to extract and retain fully stratified column samples.


The location of desired samples will be defined in a method statement composed by a suitably qualified specialist, following the field assessment, and provided to EH and SCC for approval in advance of the works.


Assessment 133


For any palaeoenvironmentally sensitive material identified through the programme of sample retrieval or a subsequent stage of preservation by record (archaeological excavation), a suitable programme of assessment and analysis would be determined in consultation with an appropriate specialist, and according to relevant SCC guidance, for approval by EH and SCC in advance of the works.
