Real-time archaeological monitoring—on-site or remote—to ensure heritage compliance during marine surveys and offshore development activities.
This service provides on-site or remote archaeological oversight during marine survey operations as well as throughout pre-construction and construction activities. Often required by national heritage agencies, it ensures that any potential discoveries—whether intentional or accidental—are accurately identified, documented, and reported in real time.
AI MSS provides archaeologists on board marine survey vessels to observe, document, and interpret archaeological anomalies in real-time.
Where physical presence is not feasible, we provide live remote support by reviewing ROV video-photography and geophysical data, advising field teams, and maintaining daily logs.
We generate Daily Progress Reports (DPRs), liaise with regulators, and provide immediate recommendations if archaeological heritage anomalies are discovered. Where necessary, we advise on mitigation strategies to ensure legal compliance and support the in situ preservation of anomalies of ‘high archaeological potential’.
Archaeological representation—whether on-site or remote—ensures legal compliance during marine surveys and construction and allows real-time response that effectively ensure the safeguarding of archaeological heritage discoveries and fulfils legal obligations under national antiquities laws.
