Our Vision

Placing the past in the service of the future.

Good archaeology is not just about understanding the past, but about understanding the needs of the present too. It is not just about dealing with ancient landscapes, but about engaging with the people who live and work in those landscapes.

We work with local communities, developers, government agencies, scientific experts and private individuals to make sense of the past. This means getting quickly to the core of archaeological problems, offering clear explanations based on a sound professional understanding of the issues, and helping find cost-effective solutions.

We believe in doing the job right, meeting the needs of our clients, and giving something back to the people whose past we have the privilege to explore. We also believe in paying our staff a proper wage for doing a proper job and giving them the tools to be able to deliver the best of results. Our professional reputation rests on the skills of the staff we employ. Working with Archaeology South-East will always be both demanding and rewarding. We put people first.
