Archaeological Research Framework & Uncovering the Past
Early in 2004, Chichester Harbour Conservancy commissioned an Archaeology Research Framework for Chichester Harbour as part of its Heritage Lottery funded work. The aim of the document was to pull together all existing knowledge of the Harbour's Archaeology and to identify areas for future study.
The Archaeology Framework was produced by the Museum of London Archaeology Service and is now available to the public as downloadable pdf files. Alternatively you can come to the Harbour Office to see a hard copy, or order a CD version.
Uncovering the Past brings together all the archaeological research undertaken between 2004-2007 within Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The document can be downloaded below as pdf files.
