An Archaeological Excavation is an in-depth investigation conducted to uncover and document archaeological remains on a site, often as part of development planning or research. Excavations involve careful, controlled digging in areas where significant archaeological deposits are expected or confirmed, allowing our team to systematically examine, record, and preserve valuable heritage.
Each excavation is designed with specific objectives and begins with a project plan tailored to the site’s history and conditions. Our team utilises precise techniques to document structures, artefacts, and environmental remains, helping to build a comprehensive record of the area’s archaeological significance. Following the fieldwork, we conduct thorough analysis and produce detailed reports and archives, ensuring that findings contribute both to the planning process and the wider understanding of our past.
Heneb conducts excavations according to the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists’ (CIfA) standards, ensuring all projects meet high professional and ethical standards. This allows developers and landowners to address planning requirements while protecting archaeological heritage.
