Archaeological excavation involves the careful identification, scientific recording and removal of all archaeological material from the area of impact of a development, aiming to preserve this part of the archaeological resource through the creation of a detailed record of what was found. All material recovered is assessed, analysed and if necessary conserved, and all artefacts and records are eventually deposited with the National Museum. Results are presented in a thorough report, and all significant findings are published. A Method Statement for this whole process is agreed in advance with the Statutory Authorities, and all works are governed by a specific Licence issued to a qualified archaeologist by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.

SURVEY AND GRAPHICS
Arch-Tech understands that survey is an integral part of archaeological fieldwork. Therefore we have a specialist department working in tandem with our fieldwork teams thus reducing the time required to record the archaeological and cultural heritage. Furthermore, computer-based illustrations ensure that any client requirements can be produced quickly and cost-effectively. Post-survey, our team produces CAD drawings of a high quality. We are committed to a process where results from any archaeological investigation are presented in a clear and professional manner. Our graphics department ensures that all results are illustrated in a manner that befits their importance.
