Archaeology & Heritage

Overview

Our areas of expertise include the Historic Environment (below and above ground archaeological remains, the built heritage, historic landscapes), and cultural heritage (intangible heritage such as sacred space, customs, ethnicity, language and place name studies, literary and artistic associations).

A wide variety of services are provided by the team for private, and public, funded organisations, and include; expert witness, risk management, desk-based and field tasks, historic building survey, description of heritage significance & the setting for heritage assets, conservation management planning & conservation area character appraisal, impact assessments, research, multi-disciplinary & interdisciplinary working, preservation of archaeological remains, geoarchaeology, site investigation evaluation, mitigation design & implementation, analysis & report production, interpretation, outreach & site presentation, and community initiatives.

Archaeological or conservation qualifications, wide-spread knowledge and experience, and diverse skills characterise the team, all of whom are at Senior level and above. As consultants we need to be thoroughly conversant with the legislation and guidance within all geographies, and to be confident in negotiation with clients and regulators over the significance of heritage assets, the degree of threat, methods that can be employed for investigation, as well as costs and timescales.
