Archaeological science comprises a highly diverse array of disciplines and applications, practised by a variety of academic, institutional and commercial bodies. Many of these provide advice relevant to their expertise and interests.
English Heritage offers independent and authoritative advice through:
- its network of Regional Science Advisors
- published guidance
- direct from its own expert teams who provide advice on: scientific dating, geophysical survey, environmental studies (plant and animal remains, geoarchaeology and human remains), analysis of ancient technologies, preservation in situ and investigative conservation
