Heritage Consultancy
Early Development Advice
Considering heritage implications early on, during development design, can have significant benefits to planning and program. We offer early-stage heritage advice in order that you gain an overview of a site’s heritage potential and development implications, prior to or during development design.
Rapid Site Assessment
A Rapid Site Assessment provides a rapid assessment of the potential for heritage remains to exist at a development site, enabling developers to plan accordingly. The assessment is less detailed than a Desk-Based Heritage Assessment but would include a walk-over survey and analysis of available heritage baseline data.
Heritage Impact Assessment
A Heritage Impact Assessment is a document that outlines the archeological or historical significance of known and potential heritage remains on a specific site and assesses the impact of a development on the remains and their setting. Using these findings, the assessment proposes an appropriate archeological and built heritage mitigation strategy.
Archeological Site Investigation
Evaluation
Archeological evaluations identify the presence of, and assess the significance of, any heritage remains that are likely to be affected by a development. We offer the following archeological evaluation services:
- Trial trench excavation;
- Geophysical survey (3D Electrical Resistivity Tomography, 3D Ground Penetrating Radar, Multi-Channel Analysis of Surface Wave, Magnetics/Electromagnetics) ;
- Standing buildings survey;
- Landscape survey; and
- Field walking survey.
Archeological Excavation
If archeological evaluation has demonstrated that significant heritage remains exist, you may be required to implement a full archeological excavation prior to or during development. With our team of experienced archeologists, we offer the various services associated with archeological excavation, including:
-
-
- Planning and logistics of excavation;
- Best-practice excavation and recording of heritage remains;
- Professional archiving of data;
- Comprehensive, illustrated, report compiling the results and analysis of excavation data; and
- Publication of data in an appropriate journal.
-
