Archaeological Services
Archaeology is at the heart of Big Heritage, and we continue to be staffed by a core team of experienced archaeologists with specialisms including desk-based research, GIS, remote sensed data and excavation. We work with both community projects and commercial developments providing services as varied as pre-planning research to running full community excavations.
As a non-profit making community interest company, we are unique in ensuring all archaeological works undertaken will have a positive impact on local people and can help commercial developers both reduce their costs whilst increasing the social value of their developments.
