Foundations Archaeology

Foundations Archaeology was founded in 1995 as one of the new independent contract archaeology units which came into being after the introduction of Planning Policy Guidance note 16 in 1991. This new legislation opened up the market for independent units to work alongside, and often replace the former system of Museum and County Council based units... . Following a successful two years saw the incorporation of the business as Archaeological Management Services Ltd in 1997, although the company continues to trade as Foundations Archaeology.
