FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
8/22/97
NC Underwater Archeology Unit - Mark Wilde- Ramsing
PAGE ##2
The project site is located in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 1.5 miles south of the Fort
Macon State Park, and 1200 yards west of the federally maintained channel in Beaufort Inlet,
in Carteret County. This is the site of a shipwreck presumed to be that of the Queen Anne's
Revenge, the vessel thought to be the pirate ship of the privateer known as Blackbeard. The
NC Department of Cultural Resources has designated an area 600 yards in diameter around the
wreck as "protected area ".
The Atlantic Ocean carries a water quality designation of SB by the Division of Water Quality;
The Carteret County Land Use Plan classifies all areas within designated Areas of
Environmental Concern as Conservation; the Division of Marine Fisheries does not designate
the Atlantic Ocean as a Primary Nursery Area; and the waters of the Atlantic Ocean are open
to the taking of shellfish for consumption. The ocean bottom composition at the wreck
location is coarse grained sand.
The Underwater Archeology Unit of the Division of Archives and History is proposing to do
experimental excavation around the wreck remains for the purpose of determining the
significance of the wreck, and in order to guide future decisions regarding site excavation, and
artifact recovery and protection. The shipwreck site is recognized by the number 0003BUL
The dimensions of the hull of the ship are suspected to be ±85' x 20', while the artifact spread
is anticipated to be ± 150' x 50'. The vessel lies covered with a thin layer of sand in
approximately 20' - 25' of water. The proposal is to excavate 5 trenches; three will be
approximately 10' x 4' in size, to an anticipated depth of 3' below substrate level; two are to
be 5' x 5', to a depth of 2' below substrate. This excavation will allow for the extraction of
smaller artifacts that will help determine the significance of the find. Approximately 15 cubic
yards of sand will be removed by means of a hydraulic induction dredge, with a 3" hose. This
system will carry the effluent to a containment area alongside the wreck for filtering. The
sand will be filtered through screens, artifacts removed, and spoil re- deposited back into the
trenches from which it came.
The process is expected to take 4 weeks to complete, and is anticipated to commence in
October of this year.
The project as proposed will employ an unorthodox method of spoil placement. However,
given the amount of spoil generated by the project, and the composition of the material to be
excavated, there should be no significant increases in turbidity. yt

MEMORANDUM:
TO: JOHN PARKER
FROM: T. Barrett t_
SUBJECT: COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS - MAJOR PERMIT APPLICATION
NC Underwater Archeology Unit - Division of Archives and History
DATE: August 22, 1997
Excavation and spoil deposition are not specifically addressed under T15A .07H .0300 for the
Ocean hazard AEC, outside of beach renourishment. However, they are addressed in T15A
.07H .0208(b)(6)(2) concerning the Estuarine System, which is more vulnerable to bottom
disturbance and turbidity impacts. Utilizing the Estuarine System rules to be conservative, this
project would be consistent through the application of T15A .07H ,0208(b)(6)(2)(G) which states
that "Pul)licly funded projects shall be considered by review agencies on a case -by -case basis
with res uect to dredging methods and spoil disposal ". This project will employee unusual
excavation and spoil disposal methods due to the fact that the intent is different than a typical
dredging project. However, given the system in which the project lies, the limited amount of
disturbance, and the heavy, coarse bottom composition, there should be no significant impacts
that would preclude the application of this rule. I recommend the project be authorized as
proposed contingent on the following conditions:
1) Excavation will not exceed Y below pre - project substrate level.
2) All proposed development must be done in accordance with the permitted workplat drawings
dated 8/2 l/97, as originally submitted by FAX on 8/21/97.
3) Any change or changes in the plans for the development will require a re- evaluation and
modification of this permit.

Bottom disturbing activities proposed at Shipwreck ;'Site. - Vda38i
I will be limited to archaeological excavation units „n�d6essary to
examine critical areas of the hull and the surrounding artifact
deltris field. These units will consist of trenches totalling 30
I feet by 4 feet and two 5, foot squares. Depths of all units below
the! bottom surface are expected to range from 2 to 3 feet. SCUBA
I divers using a hydraulic i6ducti.on dredge system will perform the
excavations, During this process sediments will be carefully
removed and carried through a 3 -inch hose to a containment area,
either on the surface or on the bottom autai.de the shipwreck,
I where the outfall will be strained though 1 /8" to 1 /4" mash
sczeen, thus capturing small artifacts. The filtered spoils will
I be used to baakfill the exCavdt+ed portions within the shipwreck
site.
A total of 15 cubic yards of coarse sand and cultural materials
are expected to be removed from the bottom during site testing.
some of that material will be returned to the site as barkfill
after tooting is complete. Excavation will be confined to
daylight hours and will be intermittent throughout the day,
allowing breaks for arnhaeologists to check progress, examine
structural features and take measurements. The duration of
project excavation is schddule:d for a 4 -week period during

CANA APPLICATION: DESCRIPTIVE NARRATIVE FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL
TESTING ON SHIPWRECK #0003BUI, BEAUFORT INLET, CARTERET COUNT
Prepared by:
Mark Wilde- Ramsin
' NC Underwater Archaeology unit
August 4, 1997
Bottom disturbing activities proposed at shipwreck. ,\Site-" p�'Q�����.y-
1I will be limited to archaeological excavation units.,.J�f6a56ary to
examine critical areas of the hull and the survounding artifact
debris field. -These units will consist of trenches totalling 30
I feet by 4 feet and two S. foot squares. Depths Of all units below
the bottom surface are expected to range from 2 to 3 feet. SCUBA
I divers using a hydraulic ixiducti.on dredge system will perform the
Iexcavations, During this process sediments will be carefully
I removed and carried through a 3 -inch hose to a Containment area,
either on the surface or on the bottom Outside the shipwreck,
I where the outfall will be strained though 1 /8" to 1 /4" mesh
screen, thus capturing small artifacts. The filtered spoils will
I be used to backfill the excavated portions within the shipwreck
site.
A total of 15 cubic yards of coarse sand and cultural materials
are expected to be remQVeid from the bottom during site testing.
some of that material will be returned to the site as backf ill
after testing is complete. Excavation will be confined to
daylight hours and will be intermittent throughout the day,
allowing breaks for archaeologists to check progress, examine
structural features and take measurements. The duration of
project excavation is schdduled for a 4 -week period durtnq
October.
