Finds and Environmental Specialist
Services
The analysis and interpretation of artefacts and
environmental remains is an essential part of most
archaeological projects. Specialist analysis of the material
culture and environmental data from a site greatly
enhances our understanding of past societies. Prompt
and purposeful analysis by experienced specialists is key
to unlocking this potential for understanding.
Why work with Archaeology South-East?
Our team of in-house specialists and post-excavation
project management can provide you with a range of
services depending on your particular needs, from single
category reports to comprehensive post-excavation
programmes. World class laboratory facilities at the
Institute of Archaeology offer cutting edge analysis in
material science, and access to comprehensive reference
and library collections.
Our Expertise

extensive experience in handling material from all archaeological periods from across

assessments and publication reporting for other leading
