Consultancy
On-Site Archaeology can provide expert advice and support to our clients from the start of a development proposal and throughout the planning process.
Desk-Based
Assessments
Our staff have vast experience writing Desk-Based Assessments (DBAs) as a first step of the archaeological planning process.
Geophysical
Surveys
We provide geophysical survey in the form of magnetometry. This is a non-invasive way to gain an indication of any archaeological potential of a proposed site.
Trial Trench
Evaluation
We provide evaluation of sites through trial trenching. This is often required by planning authorities to assist with their advice to the planners regarding a site.
Watching
Brief
A watching brief is required when a site is thought, or found, to contain a low archaeological potential.
Excavation &
Mitigation
Excavation can sometimes be required if archaeological remains are discovered on a site and cannot be protected safely within the development.
