Integrated Geoarchaeological and Earth-Science Services
ArcStrata offers expert geo-consultancy, palaeoenvironmental analyses and biostratigraphic & age-dating services to a range of clients in the construction, energy and heritage sectors. We can help you solve real-world challenges, from fulfilling your archaeological planning requirements to assessing ground models for offshore wind-farms.
ArcStrata differs from many consultancies in that we have extensive geological and archaeological fieldwork experience spanning the construction, mining, energy, archaeology and heritage sectors. Combined with our expertise in the lab and at the microscope, this first-hand experience means we are perfectly placed to deliver cross-disciplinary insight, well-informed by comprehensive experience of the full project lifespan, from start to finish.
Our analysts are highly experienced researchers who hold doctorates in their specialist fields, as well as many years' industry experience. This allows us to provide specialist consultancy and general advice in many areas, ranging from Palaeolithic archaeology and Quaternary geology to offshore biostratigraphy to honey and forensic palynology.
We provide a bespoke service tailored to meet the requirements of each individual client, allowing us to tackle your problem using a well-informed and targeted approach. This, along with the data and results that we produce means our clients can deliver their project in a more impactful and timely way.
