Midland
Archælogical Services is an independent practice specialising
in
archaeology and the historic environment.
Based primarily in the Lincolnshire
region, we are also
able to offer our services to clients throughout the Midlands,
East-Anglia and the South-East.
Sometimes it is unavoidable that during the course of development that
archaeological remains are unearthed. Archaeology is protected through
the planning process, making the management of archaeological risk a
necessary precaution. Archaeological investigations need not
be
unduly expensive or time consuming, but they do require careful
planning.
We have extensive knowledge and understanding in preparing reports that
help manage, lower or even remove the risk posed by cultural heritage.
We also understand the needs and concerns of planners and
government, and our reports can speed and simplify the business of
securing consents.
We recognise the importance of providing accurate information,
presented clearly and concisely. Our aim is to inform, not to
confuse.
