Archaeology and Heritage's 10th Anniversary

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Archaeology and Heritage Management Consultancy and having recently launched our new website, we would like to thank our clients for their continued support in using our broad range of services.

Archaeological Assessment - Bideford

An archaeological assessment in advance of development is ongoing with the proposed site lying within a known area of archaeological interest due to its association with Bideford’s Culm Mining Industry, which may have originated during the Medieval period. The site is also of interest due to the palaeoenvironmental evidence of hedge banks within this area. Prehistoric enclosures, evidence of farming and habitation activity probably dating from the Bronze or Iron Age are recorded in the area with a small quality of lithic material.

The site is also of interest with Medieval enclosures and land use being identified as part of the Historic Landscape Characterisation Project.

Bones Alive! - St Peter’s Church, Barton upon Humber

St Peter’s Church, Barton upon Humber, is the holy grail for Osteo-archaeologists and with a history spanning a 1,000 years it is the most studied church in England. This site is not only remarkable due to the survival of it’s Saxon tower, but because in a series of excavations spanning over 30 years the site has produced the largest single resource of nearly 3,000 burials analysed in the UK.

In May 2007, following years of restoration and scientific analysis the church re-opened with a major new exhibition entitled Bones Alive!

Working in partnership with English Heritage and using human skeletons, Archaeology and Heritage with our sister company Historical Promotions and Event Management organised a series of presentations on past lives and burial archaeology, with live interpretation of Anglo-Saxon, Medieval and early Victorian burial customs and traditions. This included grave goods, positions of inhumations, evidence of trade and exchange, and technology identified from three of the inhumations from the excavation.

The day involved graphic displays and interactive presentations with members of the public invited to work like CSI detectives. The live interpretation proved extremely popular, with thousands of people attending the day and with many compliments received during the course of the event.
