About Us
ABOUT US
Thames Valley Archaeological Services (TVAS) was set up in 1988 and is a medium sized archaeological field unit. We have carried out over 4,000 projects in the intervening years. These projects range from desk-based assessments, geophysical surveys, and 1 person/day watching briefs to substantial multi-period, multi-phase area excavations of several hectares in extent. Our corporate and individual experience is extensive and we undertake projects of all periods and site types.
We have particularly extensive experience of working with quarry operators (both gravel and bedrock), house builders (large and small) and linear projects (roads, pipelines). Our work covers a wide variety of archaeological planning conditions, with each project being tailored to address its specific planning requirements. In addition to providing reports for each project in order to discharge planning conditions, we take pride in the fact that we also publish our results in a range of journals, occasional papers and monographs. We are pleased to work anywhere within the UK and take an interest in archaeology wherever we encounter it.
