Paul Baggaley
Paul joined Wessex Archaeology in 2003 and leads the GeoServices team encompassing marine and terrestrial geophysics, geoarchaeology and geomatics.
Paul’s areas of expertise are geophysical survey and interpretation and he is the Secretary of the IfA Geophysics Special Interest Group (GeoSIG), a member of the SUT Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics committee and a visiting lecturer at the University of Southern Denmark.
Paul has worked on strategic projects for English Heritage such as “Seabed Prehistory” and “Wrecks on the Seabed”, which helped to develop the application of geophysical survey techniques to marine archaeology, as well as numerous offshore development projects.
Paul has also been involved in over 100 terrestrial geophysics projects for housing developments, roads, pipeline, scheduled monuments and landscape assessments.

Over the last 10 years Wessex Archaeology have been involved in over 100 offshore development projects for a range of sectors including ports, dredging, cable laying and renewables.
These projects, particularly the large renewable projects, have given archaeologists the opportunity to interpret data and identify sites from areas of seafloor which would not otherwise have been accessible.
This archive of developer-led work has greatly enhanced our knowledge of the marine historic environment through the identification and investigation of material lying on or beneath the seabed; including previous harbour structures or losses from shipwrecks and aircraft; and an improved understanding of past landscapes that existed at times of lower sea levels and which potentially hold archaeological material dating from prehistory.
By working closely with developers from the early stages of these projects the geophysical, geotechnical and environmental surveys can be designed to include the provision for archaeological, geoarchaeological and palaeoenvironmental input.
This collaborative approach towards data gathering and interpretation between geologists, geotechnical engineers, geophysicists and archaeologists is not only the most efficient way of gaining consent for the development but can also help provide engineers with an improved understanding of the seafloor.
