  • READING TIME: 1 minute

Cotswold Archaeology is pleased to announce that it is launching a marine archaeology service in March 2012 to deliver both desk-based and survey functions. This is a natural progression, building on our existing expertise in assessing the cultural heritage effects of proposed developments. The marine team will operate out of both Cirencester and a new office in Andover, Hampshire, which will be opening shortly. We will be announcing new appointments to the marine team over the next few weeks.

Chief Executive, Neil Holbrook, said “This is an exciting step and a further sign of Cotswold Archaeology’s rising status within the archaeological profession. It has been a longstanding aspiration of the company to develop a marine archaeology capability, and I am thrilled that we have now achieved this. This gives us access to a whole new world of fascinating and important archaeology, and I can’t wait to get going.”

Initial enquiries relating to this new marine archaeology service should be directed to Neil Holbrook on 01285 771022 or enquiries@cotswoldarchaeology.co.uk. New opportunities within our Consultancy Department are currently being advertised on our website and BAJR.
