Lab based and mobile processing
Assessment and detailed analysis of materials extracted from archaeological evaluations and excavations. These studies are carried out as part of commercial developer-funded archaeological investigations and on behalf of other archaeological contractors.
As well as lab based processing the team of environmental specialists are able to provide mobile, on-site processing services which can reduce costs by facilitating a more targeted and meaningful approach to environmental sampling.
This service also reduces the number of samples which need to be transported during fieldwork and is of particular benefit where large-scale excavations are concerned.
Archaeological processing services include:
- Archaeobotanic remains
- Faunal remains
- Mollusca
- Wood and charcoal
- Human remains
- Peat preservation
Specialist peat coring is provided as part of the range of environmental services.
Wardell Armstrong Archaeology has a dedicated finds officer who can provide specialist input to all types of archaeological work including:
- Advice on artefact recovery
- Identification and dating of artefacts
- Assessment reporting
- Post excavation analysis and reporting
- Prehistoric to post-medieval pottery analysis.
