Archaeology
Our team are members of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA)
We have many years’ experience in curating cultural heritage resources, and can respond to a wide range of enquiries. We can prepare archaeological desk-based assessments and cultural heritage chapters for Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs).
We also manage the Archaeology and Historic Buildings Record (AHBR), which provides data search services for the commercial sector, academics and members of the public. Our data has been used for a wide range of purposes, including development management, agri-environment schemes and public consultations. We can interpret raw data from the AHBR to help clients fully understand their results and place them in context. For work outside Hampshire we can access and analyse data from other records on your behalf.
Our Environmental Data and Advice Service gives developers and investors a feasibility assessment for any site in Hampshire.
