About A.A.R.A.

Professional Archaeological Services

Consultation
Our consultants can offer a range of services from explaining planning conditions, project management, desk-based assessments and environmental impact assessments.

Planning conditions
You may have planning permission but the local authority has deemed it necessary to conduct an archaeological investigation before the project can go ahead. We can coordinate with the local council to determine the best work scheme appropriate to your site, carry out all necessary fieldwork and produce the appropriate documentation and reports.

Desk-based Assessments
Desk-based assessments can be used to determine the history of a site and the presence of archaeology through analysis of historical documents, environmental reports and aerial photographs.
