My Services

WHEAS IconWorcestershire Environmental Archaeology Team

Worcestershire Historic Environment and Archaeology Service provides specialist environmental services for the county and beyond.  These include pollen analysis housed in newly equipped laboratories. Staff have a wide experience of different types of challenging sites and sediments, including alluvial, urban, buried soils, contaminated sites, wetland and marine.  As well as providing a  range of direct services, the team can, if appropriate, also provide a project managemnent role in co-ordinating the work of a wider range of specialists.

Specialist services include:

  • environmental project management
  • plant macrofossils
  • pollen
  • wood
  • molluscs

We can provide

  • environmental sampling in the field from evaluation to full excavation – including spot sampling, coring and broad environmental survey
  • processing of samples (including hydrofluoric and acetolysis treats of pollen where appropriate)
  • analysis and counting
  • pollen diagrams for full excavations
  • an express service can be arranged for one or two samples

Worcestershire is one of the few counties in England able to provide this range of  services and is currently engaged in projects throughout the Midlands and South-West of England..
