Is Wessex Archaeology a company or a charity?
Wessex Archaeology is both a limited company and a registered charity. This reflects our commercial work which funds our remit to educate the public about our work and archaeology in general. Our company and charitable object is “to promote the education of the public in the subjects of arts, culture, heritage & science through the pursuit of archaeology”. We employ a full-time Outreach Manager whose role is to promote archaeology to the outside world by giving talks and workshops and organising events.
