Archaeological Survey of Mineral Extraction Sites around the Thames Estuary
ALSF Project Number 3374
Essex County Council and Kent County Council, 2007
The Archaeological Survey of Mineral Extraction Sites around the Thames Estuary project was undertaken by Essex County Council and funded through the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund as disbursed by English Heritage. The first phase of the project took place in 2003 - 2004 to establish up to date information on the historic environment in extant and former mineral extraction sites on both sides of the Thames estuary in Kent and Essex. The study was focussed particularly on Pleistocene Geology / Palaeolithic Archaeology and Industrial Archaeology. The outputs of this Phase I Study comprised a series of GIS layers containing information on the specialist studies and assessment report.
