Burial Archaeology

Advice and support on the legal and ethical considerations of burial sites and assessment and analysis of inhumations and cremated bone.

With expertise in funerary archaeology and osteology, we also provide assessment and analysis of inhumations and cremated bone, producing illustrated reports and publications to recognised standards. We can provide guidance on the selection of samples for radiocarbon dating and assist with and advise on the use of stable isotope analyses, aDNA and facial reconstruction.

​Since the 1990s, Director, Natasha Powers, has excavated and analysed assemblages from across the UK, Ireland and in Germany, including nationally significant sites, and has researched and published on aspects of the osteology and funerary archaeology of assemblages dating from the prehistoric to the post-medieval periods.
