archaeological research
Archaeological recording prior to loss provides public benefit, generate knowledge and assists development delivery.
Quota approach each archaeological investigation as a unique circumstance requiring a solution-based, site specific approach.
Baseline evidence verifies if site-specific archaeological research objectives might be realised; and if so, the precise scope of work necessary.
Detailed investigation is carefully planned to approved research designs, briefs and specifications that define:
-
science-based techniques for targeting, describing and analysing field data to achieve site-specific research objectives
-
methodology that integrates archaeological and construction processes to:
-
secure safe operations
-
facilitate on-going construction design engineering
-
optimise programme efficiency
-
-
post-excavation activities that:
-
create knowledge
-
promote people’s interest and enthusiasm for understanding, appreciating, protecting and enjoying the historic environment
-
model the timescale and local dynamics of Holocene environmental trends to inform ecosystem design approaches for:
-
habitat creation and management
-
climate resilience
