Choosing an archaeological contractor

MAP field team on excavation

Professional accreditation

Look for a Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA) Registered Organisation. MAP is CIfA registered.

Local knowledge

Contractors familiar with the area's archaeology and planning advisors can scope work more accurately.

End-to-end delivery

A practice that handles assessment, fieldwork, post-excavation and archive avoids hand-over gaps.
