Refining Areas of Maritime Archaeological Potential (AMAPs) for Shipwrecks

In May 2007, English Heritage commissioned Bournemouth University to undertake a project entitled Refining Areas of Maritime Archaeological Potential for Shipwrecks - AMAP1 funded by the Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF). The aim of the project was to undertake quantitative spatial analysis of shipwreck data using GIS to compare typologised wreck scatters to environmental, historical and hydrographic datasets in order to identify biases in the data and refine areas identified as AMAPs during a previous ALSF project - Navigational Hazards project.

于2007年5月，英国历史遗产委员会委托布里斯托尔大学开展一项名为‘对海事考古潜力区域进行精炼——AMAP1’的项目，该项目由综合税率可持续基金（ALSF）资助。项目旨在利用地理信息系统（GIS）对沉船数据进行定量空间分析，将类型化的沉船散布情况与环境、历史和海洋水文数据集进行比较，以识别数据中的偏差并精炼在前一ALSF项目——导航危险项目期间确定的AMAP区域。
