Headland Archaeology is a leading independent company providing heritage consultancy and archaeological contracting services to a wide spectrum of clients within the development industry. Our breadth and depth of expertise have earned us a reputation for delivering outstanding results in meeting our clients' statutory requirements, whilst actively implementing best industry practice.
Our business is structured around three core competencies:
CONSULTANCY
Identifying risk – forward planning and assessment of the heritage issues early in the development process.
We advise our clients on planning legislation, provide guidance and agree specifications for archaeological work. We work closely with our clients to design a programme of site investigations, quantify time, costs and resources required to address potential archaeological issues.
CONTRACTING
Managing risk – as contractors we have the scale and expertise to undertake field projects anywhere in the UK. Our regional offices ensure that we have the local knowledge whilst maintaining a consistent approach reflecting Headland’s overall professional values. Our involvement with major infrastructure development is a cornerstone of Headland’s workload. Our teams understand the risks and responsibilities of civil engineering contracts.
POST-EXCAVATION
We employ specialists to ensure that we provide an integrated service to our clients consistently. The range of our capabilities and of our skilled professionals reflects our success in building one of the best-resourced archaeological companies.
