From fieldwork and survey to collections care, reporting, and outreach, the service supports clients at every stage of a project, delivering high-quality work that meets professional standards while contributing to the wider understanding and stewardship of the historic environment.
Written Scheme of Investigation
A Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) sets out the methodology and standards for archaeological work associated with a development project.
Historic Building Survey
A Historic Building Survey provides a systematic record and assessment of historic structures that may be affected by repair, alteration, or redevelopment.
Watching Briefs
An Archaeological Watching Brief is a commonly required form of archaeological mitigation during development where groundworks may affect buried archaeological remains.
Desk Based Assessments
Archaeological Desk-Based Assessments (DBAs) form a key early stage in the UK planning process where development may affect heritage assets or areas of archaeological potential.
Archaeological Evaluation
An Archaeological Evaluation is undertaken to determine whether significant archaeological remains are present within a development site and, if so, to assess their nature, extent, and significance.
