Combining the two disciplines on site can offer a number of benefits
There is a considerable amount of overlap between the investigation of sites
undertaken by ground engineers and those undertaken by archaeologists. Combining
the two disciplines on site can offer the client a number of
benefits.
Employing the services of ground engineers and archaeologists in an integrated approach to site survey and evaluation offers clients an innovative and effective way to be forewarned about the risks attached to particular proposed development sites, whether that be contamination issues arising from earlier industrial activities or contamination arising from the presence of buried archaeological remains.
This also negates the need for more than one contractor on site, savings both time and costs.
Combining archaeology, ground engineering - and ecology
A combined approach between ground engineering and archaeology can be particularly effective when applied to the following tasks:
The effectiveness of the survey package of ground engineering and archaeological investigation can be further increased by integrating both with ecological surveys which can again have a considerable overlap with the above disciplines.
