Archaeological Project Services

We provide expert advice on planning legislation and its impact on archaeological and heritage projects. Our team can help you navigate the complex planning process and ensure your project complies with all relevant regulations.

We prepare comprehensive heritage statements that assess the significance of archaeological and heritage assets within a development site. These statements are essential for planning applications and help to inform decision-making.

We conduct thorough desk-based assessments to identify potential archaeological and heritage features within a development site. This involves reviewing existing records, maps, and aerial photographs to inform the planning process.

We undertake environmental impact assessments (EIAs) to assess the potential impact of development projects on archaeological and heritage assets. Our EIAs help to ensure that development proposals are sustainable and minimize any adverse impacts.

We develop and implement mitigation strategies to protect archaeological and heritage assets during development projects. This may involve archaeological monitoring, excavation, or other measures to ensure the preservation of significant features.

We conduct character appraisals to assess the historic character of buildings and landscapes. This helps to inform conservation and development proposals and ensure that any changes are sympathetic to the existing character.

We prepare conservation management plans for historic buildings and landscapes. These plans set out a framework for the long-term management and preservation of these assets.

We use a range of geophysical survey techniques to identify buried archaeological features. This non-invasive method can help to pinpoint areas of interest for further investigation.

We conduct fieldwalking surveys to identify archaeological features on the ground surface. This involves walking across a site and recording any visible archaeological remains.

We undertake landscape surveys to assess the historic landscape context of a development site. This involves mapping the landscape features and understanding their historical development.

We carry out evaluation and trial trenching to assess the significance of archaeological features identified through geophysical survey or fieldwalking. This involves excavating small trenches to examine the nature and extent of the features.

We undertake archaeological excavations to investigate and record archaeological features. This involves carefully removing layers of soil and sediment to reveal the remains of past human activity.

We provide watching briefs during construction projects to monitor for archaeological features. This involves observing the excavation process and recording any archaeological remains that are uncovered.

We conduct building recording to document the architectural and historical features of buildings. This involves creating detailed drawings and photographs to preserve a record of the building's history.

We provide specialist analysis of archaeological finds, including pottery, metalwork, and other artifacts. This helps to understand the nature and date of the archaeological remains.

We offer expertise in the analysis and conservation of stonework, including building materials and archaeological features.

We have a team of specialists in geophysical survey techniques, including magnetometry, ground penetrating radar, and resistivity surveys.

We provide desktop publishing and design services to produce high-quality reports, maps, and other publications for archaeological and heritage projects.
