We work at all stages of a project, beginning by developing the most efficient methods for environmental sampling on site. Throughout a dig we can also carry out live sampling to make sure we target areas with the best research potential.
We process environmental soil samples within our purpose-built facilities across England. These dedicated spaces allow us to carry out the wet-sieving, flotation, drying, and sorting of a large number of samples.
Our archaeobotanists and zooarchaeologists identify and interpret both archaeological and modern plant and animal remains. We have particular expertise in:
-
fish, birds, molluscs and mammals
-
waterlogged and charred plant remains
-
interpretation of tool and butchery marks
We will clearly present our findings to you through our detailed reports. Our team also completes palaeoecology and landscape studies in support of desk-based assessments.
