TopicShellfisheries
Year of CompletionPublished 2015.
Status
RegionChichester Harbour
AbstractMAT planned this project to better understand the impact of bait digging on archaeological artefacts and deposits. There is a lack of understanding of the impact of this potentially damaging activity on a national scale. During previous work in Chichester Harbour at the southern end of the Wadeway particular disturbance from bait digging was recorded. This had left an area heavily truncated and damaged and sediments containing archaeological material had been disturbed.
