Commercial
Services
As
well as our core functions to record, research,
conserve and inform on all aspects of the archaeology
of the area, we are also able to provide commercial
archaeological services.
The
Research and Fieldwork Section specialises in
archaeological work related to the planning process
and the fulfilment of planning conditions. The
Section has a proven record of desktop assessments,
watching briefs, field evaluations and excavations
