Welcome to Bluestone Archaeology CIC

Things have changed at Bluestone Archaeology, in 2018 we will provide our services as a not for profit community interest company, CIC.

We are pleased to announce that we will continue to provide training and consultancy for community heritage projects. We will also continue to provide commercial archaeological services in order to fund our not-for-profit projects.

What we can offer:

Bluestone Archaeology will be offering and supporting training to the general public in historical research, non-intrusive field investigation, archaeological excavation, post- excavation, archiving, use of technology in archaeology (such as UAVs and Lidar), digital archaeology (GIS mapping and online publication) and dissemination.

COMMERCIAL (Developer funded work)

Before its transition to a community interest company, Bluestone Archaeology
provided a wide range of archaeological services to public and private clients alike.
In order to fund the setting-up of the CIC we intend to retain our commercial
capability and offer clients the following services:

• Consultation and Advice
• Heritage Asset Statements
• Desk-Based-Assessments
• Historic Building Surveys
• Landscape Surveys
• Bespoke GIS mapping projects
• Digital archaeology services
• Evaluations
• Watching Briefs
• Excavation
• Post-excavation & reporting
• Archive deposition
• Expert advice and archaeological consultancy

The above services will be charged out at prevailing commercial rates and once staff
pay, travel, expenses and business overhead costs are covered any surplus monies
will be ring-fenced and redistributed into enabling UK based community projects.
This will be clearly shown in our yearly trading accounts. It is intended, in the longterm,
to partly fund the CIC from any surplus monies generated from its commercial
activities.
